I've had in the corner of my mind a waivering idea that Bush and his administration may have had a long term plan that remained elusive to us regarding Iraq and the ME, but after the past year (not excluding these two articles) every sign seems to point towards incompetence, ineptitude, and failure. The conservatives clearly have absolutely no plan whatsoever in Iraq short of stockpiling money and commodities, and give us a taste of that lack of planning through their clumsy attempt at covering their asses. In other words, I completely agree with you roachboy.
Perhaps they realized that securing the natural resources in the ME would fail, and are now attempting to get richer in order to control those goods economically and hadn't counted on any audits. Or they simply don't know what the hell they're doing. Either way, the curtain is falling and they'd better be ready to face an audience.
