what horsefeathers! Such turbulent air!
Iraq wants the weapons, has sided with Iran, give them weapons and they'll kill americans. Let their oil revenue buy the infrastructure, social goods, utilities, policing and weapons. Why should it all be at the expense of Uncle Sam?
Someone here claims that Iraq had 70,000 tanks that are now just mising. Let them buy their own weapons. They have money.
Al-Maliki fiddled for so long while Bagdad burned and now he wants to blame Bush. Maybe the same thing will happen to Al-Maliki that happened to Nero.
