We should send our CIA over there to help assassinate Maliki and current leaders who need to die in order to set up a brutal strong man leader friendly to our interests. He needs to be a real SOB who will crush all dissent. Hell, he could even be the guy we pick to shoot Maliki. Later, if he gets too strong or a major PIA, we can manipulate him into making a mistake that we can use to gin up support for an international force and bomb the country halfway to the stone age. This will weaken him but we can leave him around to continue holding the place together till we can get all the oil out. If necessary we can eventually force him out of power with some trumped up bullshit national security reasons.
Seems like someone would have thought of this already.

(785 posts)Jeb? You listening? Send your future Secretary of Defense there and set this up. Just a couple of more tweeks and we will have this Iraq situation in hand. Your country is calling.

(785 posts)2-6 trillion lost in our most recent "investment." (Not to mention the 4000 dead and many times that wounded and disabled). But maybe this time it will be different....

it; with Obama's Patent Israeli-Style Postmodern Warfare you finally can have your cake and eat it too, closing the gap between supporting and fighting a group down to 0 years!
