The United States controls all Iraqi politics using that money, if the Iraqi politicians and leaders and religious groups don't behave, the United States will cut the money” said Dr. Husse... Show more
Who’s surprised?
Not me.
A. We didn't start that war, but we damn sure ended it.
B. We won that war.
C. To the victor go the spoils of war. We promised it wouldn't be blood for oil. Iraq is lucky the Free World didn't decide to divide out the WHOLE COUNTRY as a war prize (or at least for reparations for clearing out an megalomaniac A-hole). And then have UNLIMITED access to $25 barrels of oil (or, for merely the cost of getting it out of the ground and shipping it)
D. We're tired of having to repeatedly deal with the CONSTANT historical BS perpetuated by extreme Islamist ideologues, or megalomaniac dictators. Call it Middle East Fatigue Syndrome
E. You're damn right we're going to control the purse strings. No more M.E.F.S. from the next A-hole that has power, money, and ill intent for the rest of the world, AND even, his own citizens.
F. You REALLY don't hear much from Iraq these days. Kind of peaceful there, from what I can tell, from this side of the pond. Call it, Economic Peace Making by the purse strings.
G. You're welcome! Now go back to crying in your soup.
Wait, how did I log into my online community college World Econ class? That's not til 10am tomorrow?
