"There can be no failure" would seem, offhand, to be a profession of faith. Judging from eia.doe.gov, Iraq never quite made it back to prewar production levels, and the recent trend for the last couple months recorded looks to be going in the wrong direction, but maybe it got better after June. People used to regularly claim things were going really, really well in Iraq, but I think official administration propaganda has gone off in a different direction of late.

Q,
You can secure the oil but securing the somewhat stable kurd and shiaa areas. Thats where all the oil is and if the kurds take kirkuk that even becomes clearer. IF it is impossible to do Plan A, a united, somewhat democratic, tolerant iraq, go to Plan B. Unless you think the insurgency can be crushed if we go in to places like Falujah with guns blazing. mike
