News.com.au: The ominous sign for Iraq as it spirals towards revolution
It’s suffered two invasions and a mission to save it from the Islamic State. Now this nation caught between the world’s fiercest enemies is on the brink of spiralling out of control.

$220 billion? We'd have been better off giving each of the 437 million Iraqis $6000 USD and telling them to spend it however they see fit. Instead, we have another failed globalist nation-building experiment, primarily at the expense of American taxpayers. And to think for that amount we could have lined every single pocket of a whole new generation of professional (life-time) WA DC politicians. Holy crap, what a joke everything has become.
