You miss the major point. THE MONEY IS ALREADY LOST!!!!!

If you wanted to finagle the millions and billions, you got in when the money was lent. The embezzlers are Saddam and crew although I'm sure there were some profiteers among the French and Russians.

Unfortunately, the people of France and Russia will get screwed and the people of Iraq already got raped their leaders.

If you have a theory, you need to come up with some reality. If you were talking about money being embezzled and over priced expenditures in reconstruction now, I might agree with you. But talking about someone taking over DEBT and winging some sort of cash flow out of it, just ain't gonna happen. Nobody is going to buy Iraqi debt for less than a few pennies and the US is not going to guarantee the debt. They may say they are "responsible" for working it out but that's like a bankruptcy trustee or receiver saying they are "responsible" while they screw the creditors and shareholders.
