Jacob - Alberta tar sands have a big problem. North America is facing a massive shortage of natural gas which is used to heat up the tar to extract it. 2/3 of economically recoverable oil reserves are in the Mideast and there is no way around that fact in site. I expect the idea of maintaining a limited low visibility security force there will be the path taken. Iraq does not have money for a military and taking care of the basic needs of the country. They cannot fund the capital investments they need from the present oil exports. They wont attract much absolutely essential investment until the nation is stabilized and investment risk can be reduced and quantified.
