Guess that was bullshit.

The puppet government we forced into power gets bombed regularly.
China didn't win any war like the idiot box attempts to mislead readers.
China may be making more money at this time than the US by doing business with Iraq, but the US spent a trillion on the war and that was all economic winning for the US war machine industrial contractors.

NO that was exactly why G Worst Bush invaded Iraq. When it came time for the Country of Iraq to award Oil Contracts... They remembered "Shock and Awe"... They remembered Abu Ghraib... They remembered the WMD Lies... So...
Quoted Text
Russia's Lukoil on Saturday clinched a deal to develop Iraq's super giant West Qurna Phase Two oilfield after having failed to convince Iraq to bypass the auction and revive an old Saddam Hussein-era deal for the field.
During a visit to Baghdad earlier this year, Lukoil executives had invited the press to a news conference where they had expected to announce the renewed Saddam deal. After a few terse comments, they left empty-handed and visibly annoyed.
No U.S. firms bid for fields offered in the second round, and of the four fields bid on by U.S. firms in the first round, only Exxon Mobil won a major prize, leading a group to clinch a deal for the super giant West Qurna Phase One field.
U.S.-based Occidental came away with a quarter stake in a consortium that won a contract for the giant Zubair field.
By contrast, Chinese state oil firms were involved in every first round bid and made a strong showing in the second.
"The results of the bid round should lay to rest the old canard that the U.S. intervened in Iraq to secure Iraqi oil for American companies," said Philip Frayne, a spokesman at the U.S. embassy in Baghdad.

The extreme leftists lied about the Gulf War and the War Against Terrorism in Iraq -- you can still hear Tonko spouting the lies in his speeches. These extremists leftists are caught in a time warp from the past --- there is NOTHING progressive about them or their thinking.
Saddam is dead and so are his two sons. The new government may not be perfect but it is a helluva lot better than the evil thug that was once there.

"For this is what America is all about. It is the uncrossed desert and the unclimbed ridge. It is the star that is not reached and the harvest that is sleeping in the unplowed ground." Lyndon Baines Johnson
*At the outset of the Iraq war, the Bush administration predicted that it would cost $50 billion to $60 billion to oust Saddam Hussein, restore order and install a new government. (Cost of the war so far... over $1 Trillion )
*Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, to U.S. troops in Aviano, Italy: "It is unknowable how long that conflict will last. It could last six days, six weeks. I doubt six months."
* March 11, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, in a speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars: "The Iraqi people understand what this crisis is about. Like the people of France in the 1940s, they view us as their hoped-for liberator."
* March 16, Vice President Cheney, on NBC's Meet the Press: "I think things have gotten so bad inside Iraq, from the standpoint of the Iraqi people, my belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators. . . . I think it will go relatively quickly, . . . (in) weeks rather than months." He predicted that regular Iraqi soldiers would not "put up such a struggle" and that even "significant elements of the Republican Guard . . . are likely to step aside."
*In the run-up to war in Iraq in early 2003, General Eric Shinseki testified to the Senate Armed Services Committee that it would take “several hundred thousand soldiers” to secure Iraq Rumsfeld: What is, I think reasonably certain, is the idea that it would take several hundred thousand U.S. forces, I think, is far from the mark. Wolfowitz: But some of the higher-end predictions that we have been hearing recently, such as the notion that it will take several hundred thousand U.S. troops to provide stability in post-Saddam Iraq, are wildly off the mark. First, it’s hard to conceive that it would take more forces to provide stability in post-Saddam Iraq than it would take to conduct the war itself and to secure the surrender of Saddam’s security forces and his army. Hard to imagine.
* The leaked minutes of a conversation between British intelligence officials and Prime Minister Tony Blair, referred to as the Downing Street memo:. “Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD, “But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy.”

There may be a victor or one dominates over the other, or one benefits from the war, but in the end, after all the losses incurred, after all the money spent, after all the hurt and pain, there simply is no winner!!!!
