WASHINGTON — Ten years after the United States invaded and occupied Iraq, the country’s oil industry is poised to boom and make the troubled nation the No.2 oil exporter in the world. But the nation that’s moving to take advantage of Iraq’s riches isn’t the United States. It’s China.

I said years ago that the irony of Iraq war was that we were borrowing money from China, to fight a war in Iraq, to protect Iraq's oil, for the benefit of China, who would use the oil in Chinese industry, that had moved from the US to China, to make goods to export and sell to Americans.

Yup it was about some other things. Empowering our enemies, inflating a few evil men's egos, oh and creating another democratic ally in the middle east (whoops!).

Can't help but notice that the article mentions that Haliburton is doing really well for itself over there.

They got our blood. We got their debt.
