It is much simpler, Jay. Iraq will be 'Israelized'. Here is why: Imagine a lot of men with 300 billion dollars but no practical purpose. Their purpose was to confront the coming Russians. Yes, those Russians than can't bolt dwn a decent car gear box. They haven't been demobilized after the Cold War ended. Facing the prospects of losing preminence -not to say a big chunk of the 300 billion dollars- they have to actively seek a purpose for themselves. There is Israel a kind of James Bond state supported by American dollars. The US 'defense' caste sought a similar situation in which they would play the role of the Israelis. Iraq will have it's Gaza Strips, Intifadas, couple of Hamas and Arafats, and a place for the miltitary to play around. The 300 billion dollars will be safe.
