What mistakes?
Oh, I don't know...disbanding the Iraqi Army, firing the Civil Service, alienating the population, the 'surge' which inflamed the violence and the millions of middle class Iraqis who have left the country?
Yes, but by leaving the country, you see, the oil industry can't be run by that middle class...so it'll have to be run by the Americans. And also the violence justifies the Americans in building their bases.
Sorry. What bases?
Oh, they're building five permanent military bases in Iraq. Each will take about 20,000 troops and the one that's already built, Balad — has, next to Heath-row the busiest runway in the world.
You aren't saying that despite all the — including all the Iraqi deaths, the thousands of American and British casualties — this is all part of a plan?
Well, what has happened is this situation is an excuse is for the Americans to have their troops there.
So "the mess" which we think of as a mess, isn't really a mess at all?
Well if you call a 'mess', sitting on a quarter of the world's oil, and getting it cheaply for the next 30 years, I imagine it's a mess they are very happy to be in.
So this can mean only one thing.
Only one thing. It means that George Bush is a genius.
