I believe oil revs will finance Iraq reconstruction and leave them with squalor for years to come but US firms will benefit from running the oil production and European firms will be locked out we will then claim altruism, but not be awarded the hearts & minds of Arabs NOT EVEN CLOSE I ask what good is military victory if we fail to make friends, fail to prevent countless civilian deaths, fail to restore order, fail to preserve private property, fail to protect hospitals, fail to permit water to flow where it once flowed, and allow their museum to be gutted like a neighborhood 7/11 convenience store??? WE ARE CREATING A "HAND-TO-MOUTH" FEEDING SITUATION NOW !!! Iraq will soon morph into a carnival target practice land for terrorist bombers their bombing will justify our continued presence someone told me: ONE GIANT WEST BANK !!! we will never leave Iraq we will use their airbases in perpetuity, with nobody to object, at least nobody carrying a gun or RPG yes, notice how often Syria comes up in press conferences we are being set up for incursions first "in hot pursuit, to prevent bases for future attacks across the border" Syria is home to many in HezBollah (Party of God) they have other centers in Beirut Lebanon what we overlook is that HezBollah is the major league, full of seasoned veterans in the terrorist trade while Al Qaeda is the high school training ground, which did pull off a magnificent WTC attack in our hubris, we are likely to bite off more than we can chew we have yet to restore civil order in Iraq by June, will the looting have stopped? I have read several dozen stories about HezBollah since 1975 these guys are the real mccoy these guys are scarey these guys will not think twice about assassinating our president and half of his cabinet these guys will not hesitate to bomb the US Senate, which is like a supermarket, porous with its security Al Qaeda makes me worried HezBollah makes me tremble most illiterate Americans dont know what HezBollah is in the past two months, I have conducted about 30 experiments so far about 3-4 out of 30 recognize HezBollah we are about to venture into the Terrorist Twilight Zone / jim
