So are our elected who INSIST we rebuild Iraq. This man will be gone soon and in his place will be Saddam the Second chosen by the Islamic leaders. Then Bush will have his chosen by the people government in Iraq. IOW we are wasting our time and resources in Iraq doing nation building. If not for lucrative contracts going to certain corporations we would be out of there. That is the sole reason we are building Iraq as it is a corporate gold mine to a few companies providing U.S. taxpayer paid services there. There will never be a free Iraq.
Also, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if US dollars served as personal 'gold mines' for Maliki, and some high ranking members of the Iraqi government.
Just sayin'......

Now I understand. If the war effort costs ‘x’ but we have maybe 5% in ‘x’ in business contracts that therefor is THE reason we are still in Iraq. Your theory has us in Iraq for pennies against the cost of this thing. And all this time I thought we were there for the oil. I’d like to think we are there for a number of reasons, the main ones being a bit more noble.
BINGO!!!
You nailed it. Those lucrative contracts are not only the reason for us still being in Iraq but they were the reason for us going in there in the first place.

In any given WOT threat on FR, you’ll always find these Ron Paul people filling threads with anti-American conspiritorial nonsense.
