The facts are in control. Not the US. Set of circumstances changed, foreign policy didn't. Once this goes out of lock steps, other seize the situation and advance their own self interest. Putin, Lula, Hu and the Manmohan Singh are doing this right now. Look to the Europeans, they know that and they are positioning themselves to ride the coat tails of those guys. That's why I keep posting about Nordea Bank. The Scandinavians have discovered the way the wind is blowing.

But which US national (economic) interest has been advanced by the Iraq invasion/occupation? Who funded the Bush/Cheney coup? Oil interests have been the obvious winners. By disrupting the flow from Iraq, producers have been receiving a premium for the oil they have available.(Think Mobil, Exxon, Saudis, etc...) Then they can move into what is now the Iraq reserve and sell us the oil that was prevented from reaching market at the same higher prices. What do you think that Cheney oil meeting years ago was about?
