The author ignores the fact that this mayhem and choas might actually be what the US desires in that region, afterall it is extremely profitable and there is nothing to show for where that money is being spent not to mention the higher oil prices, a windfall through and through, like a capitalist wet dream where the profits come in without a product or any input.

Make one or two mistakes and miscalculations and they are see as such make a whole series of them and do nothing to alter that pattern and you see deliberate design behind these ``mistakes``. Regarding the newly trained Iraqi military, there was a report a while back on NPR about how lightly they are equipped, one reason for why the Americans don`t want to equipt them properly is because they don`t trust them, those same Iraqi units might turn against the Americans or at the very least defy them as they did in the assault on Falluja. Reports coming out of Iraq suggest that Saddam was even willing to sell his mama to the Americans were they to put off the invasion but they refused, war and the resulting mayhem and profits were on their mind from the very start, we have a whole series of US interventions where they prefer to gate themselves in what they`ve bombed back into ``the stone age``. Saddam did much better in reconstruction after Gulf War 1 than what the US has done after comparatively smaller scale war, that should tell us something about US intentions.

Picture Iran being built up by the US as a mini hegemonous power of sorts, its actions in Iraq have ensured that, if the US moves out Iran will move in a step towards larger mayhem in the general middle east region. Their barbarism and long term plans are just warming up, as the poet has said
