Entry: Intelligence Failure--Why America Can't Think Its Way Out of Iraq Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/intelligence_failure_why_america_cant_think_its_way_out_of_iraq#22702 Post contents: Come on...the people in charge of policy in this country have no intention of getting out of Iraq. War is profitable for the defense contractors, the "private security" contractors, and has been extremely profitable for the oil companies. If we pull out of Iraq, there is the very real danger that they will sell their oil in Euros instead of dollars, which is why we took out Saddam in the first place, and why we threaten Iran. And besides, the Iraqi Oil Laws guaranteeing continued profits through Production Sharing Agreements hasn't been enacted to our satisfaction yet. The American public may want to get out of Iraq, but they don't call the shots. Sent at: 2008 05 16
