Maliki has been begging for us air strikes and has also been seeking help from Iran. The country is currently split in 3. Believe what u want as far as the old "a couple days away from the revaluation that makes us instantly rich"., But I prefer the facts, not wild speculation from someone who is trying to laugh it off with no basis in reality.
The world doesn't work on paper. Iraq troops fled and there was mass chaos. They don't have a strong central government like we do, who can extend our invisible arm and impose our will when we see fit militarily.
It's a hot mess and will continue to be for the FORSEEABLE future, as news of bombings and everything else have gotten factually and CONSISTENTLY worse over time, not better.
Take a good look people, this is what denial, ignorance, and delusion look like.
