SELLING OFF IRAQ
THIS crap is going to repeat the stunning success of the sell off of the former Soviet Union to a few rich people. Do you think many Iraqis, except a few party loyalists, and a few people who say idly by while Saddam did his thing, can possibly afford to get in a bidding war with a Western firm? If all this hyper-capitalist bullshit we are pulling in Iraq does NOT blow up in the faces of the Iraqis (and how long I wait depends on a lot of factors), I will apologize.
