We replaced a government ran by Sunnis with a government ran by
Shiites. The Sunnis in Iraq are now at the mercy of the Iraqi Shiites
and their Shiite brothers in Iran.

That's democracy, the Shi'ites are in the majority.
But that's why democracy doesn't always work, and certainly not in
Iraq.
For future developments in Iraq & Afghanistan re-read Nam.

How quiet the Kurds are. *When the Americans finally
depart does anyone really think they will allow themselves
to be governed by a Shi'ite dominated government?

Iraq: World's Number One Oil Producer?

"Production from Iraq is the wild card. The current target of 12
million barrels a day by 2016 would make Iraq the world’s number one
producer, potentially increasing global spare capacity and sending the
oil price down....."

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

Appearing elsewhe

"..The Gulf of Mexico oil disaster has taken everyone's eye off Iraq,
which makes BP happy in one sense.

Now that the BP oil barons have been given the green light to handle
"Iraq's oil", they are too busy there to help much in the Gulf of
Mexico:
Rumaila, the workhorse of Iraq's oil industry and its biggest
oilfield, is buzzing with activity as executives, engineers and
drillers begin a massive overhaul to nearly triple its million-barrels-
per-day output.

At the airport in Basra, capital of southern Iraq, staff struggled to
process the unprecedented numbers of people arriving to join the
country's nascent oil boom.

Iraq may be struggling to form a new government almost three months
after elections, but oil firms chosen to carry out the biggest
oilfield development projects on the planet were ploughing ahead with
investments that could take the country into the elite of global oil
producers......."

Yup. A lot of Iraqis and Americans died, and the American taxpayer was
left holding the bag for the huge bill, but the oil companies made a
lot of money, and will continue to make a lot of money in the futu

Why do you ignore the words of wisdom from Obama's choice for SOS who
said:

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports
show
that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological
weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear
program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists,
including al Qaeda members ... It is clear, however, that if left
unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to
wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop
nuclear weapons."
- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002
