And the "right direction" to Iraqis is what? Do you know? It's obvious you do not.

The invasion of Iraq was for oil. Plain and simple. It's come down to who gets the oil because there's no more spare production capacity.
It's not a coincidence that shrub invaded a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 but does have the 2nd largest oil reserves of any country in the world.
The seriousness of the situation is easily seen in the absolute ruthless and criminal behavior exhibited by shrub and his henchmen in Iraq. Torture, murder, disappearing people, bribery, flattening whole cities, complete disregard for civilian deaths, etc etc.

Who are we most at competition with for oil?
China.

PROPAGANDA ALERT!

The International Republican Institute (IRI) is a fraud.

rightweb.irc-online.org

This bunch of partisan hacks are stealing U.S. taxpayer money to promote right-wing crackpot politics.

For anyone (hello, Brian) to take the IRI seriously indicates an extreme lack of judgement or common sense. And an extreme lack of respect for real processes of democracy.
