Whoever, actually.
This is utterly stupid. Chaos in Iraq does not serve any US purpose right now - either the long-term needs of the empire or the short-term electoral needs of the GOP, which requires getting out ASAP (in a way consistent with the needs of the empire, of course). Yesterday you said they needed weapons contracts; today you say it’s a pretext for getting out in 72 hours. Iraq blew up in the face of the neocons. Things haven’t gone their way. They’re fucked. Iraq is fucked. Why peddle this nonsense?
