Democracy flowers in Iraq

From Politico:

FIRST LOOK: WALL STREET IN IRAQ? – Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Deputy Secretary Tom Nides (formerly chief administrative officer at Morgan Stanley) will host a group of corporate executives at State this morning as part of the Iraq Business Roundtable. Corporate executives from approximately 30 major U.S. companies – including financial firms Citigroup, JPMorganChase and Goldman Sachs – will join U.S. and Iraqi officials to discuss economic opportunities in the new Iraq.

This is what the Iraq war was about, beginning, middle and someday, end. All the rest was lies. Always keep in mind, as we watch American policy makers at work, the maxim that has guided me through the past 23 years: “They lie, they lie, they lie.”
