While everyone is celebrating the handover (dont get too drunk patriot) I thought I might have a wee think about the real world.
Just remember, we are dealing with extremists in Washington.
Stay focussed now.
First there's the 'democratic' and propaganda element, where the 2nd class Iraqi citizens have to get the heck on with their lives, whatever happens, they're pretty much on their own.
They get to fight over the reconstruction crumbs, the small millions that prevent complete collapse.
Most of us muppets squabble over that bit.(me 2 btw)
Then there's the chickenhawk strategic element.
The bit that gets most of the cash.
The big bit.
Israel is too much of a PITA from a strategic angle, the US needs its own subsidiaries to project power, and it has a unique opportunity in Iraq.
An opportunity that is unlikely to be repeated, in a very important part of the world.
To "maintain security and stability in a vital area of the world" I reckon the US will establish permanent bases in Iraq, preferably on a Guantanamo long lease type basis.
The UN is not needed, it has already legitimised this fuxxing joke of an Iraqi administration.(Europe has too actually)
So the US just needs its suited arab stooges in their Baghdad bunker to sign off the paperwork as part of an 'Iraqi mutual stability agreement'.
The stooges will sign up, Iraq is too unstable, they know that they don't have much of a future without the American military anyway.
Small minded weak men, hungry to taste power, make big mistakes.
The western press probaly won't even make much of a fuss about it, apart from the really lefty parts.
(I wonder how much of this was discussed at the last Bildeberg k-k-k cocktail party a month ago.)

It gives the mission the perspective and credibility that it has lacked so far...
The WMD was bollox, everyone KNEW that.
The Saddam and Al-Q connection was so bollox it was an insult to human intelligence.
NATO is not needed.
The UN is not needed.
Europe is not needed.
It removes a lot of Arab pressure on Israel having say...3 big US military bases in Iraq.
It gives you direct access to the oil breadbasket of planet earth.
You have a permanent presence to police the towelheads, Iraq borders on pretty much everywhere that matters.
It means the mission has some genuine 'Payback' instead of the confusion that reigns at the moment.(The WTF are they doing? factor)
The whole thing has been a clusterfu*k so far, unless there is a final (unannounced) objective.
If it happens, it will happen in the period before the Iraqi 'elections', while the new puppet administration is still weak.
6 months?
One other thing, if it happens, GWB needs to be re-elected to ensure completion.
America, the world is watching.
