I don't really see a problem with getting out for good, or at least until we're invited. No one asked us to invade Iraq, after all. Not even the resistance.
The cheap thing was referring to how much of the money was getting to the people in Iraq. The UAE has been dealing in oil for over a generation, and they had the foresight to deal with many different customers so that if a certain customer got greedy other customers would have a vested interest in stopping them. In addition to that, the UAE has maintained a very strong tie to the UK, which still holds sway over the lumbering bafoon (the US).
