“The first thing the prime minister will ask for is to accelerate the processes for the shipment of drones and F-16s,” Deputy National Security Adviser Safa al-Sheikh Hussein told Reuters in an interview last week.

“The initial response from the U.S. was positive, but it depends on the delivery time. We want them immediately.”

Washington agreed in August to supply by late 2014 a $2.6 billion integrated air defense system and F-16s.

The idea behind equipping the Iraqi military with U.S. arms—as Carter did with Egypt—was to create a dependency and a bond between the Pentagon and Baghdad. It also established a market for U.S. spare parts, ammo and replacements. Obama has purposely sabotaged our relationship with the Iraqis because a stable, prosperous Iraq might vindicate Bush while negating Obama’s 2007-08 anti-surge, antiwar windbaggery.

What the Iraqi’s need is a brutal dictator to keep the various factions in line. Oh, wait.
