Yup. US could have taken all the contracts and became the good guy, but nope, they burnt it down to the ground and left.

Not that we should have the contracts and control a country like that, but I'd like to think there could have been a win/win. Would have been nice to have a friendly and supported Iraq, on its way to healing some, at the end of the day.

Overall, a failure of US leadership on all fronts. Any positive results may have just been a bridge too far in the minds of politicians and rallying the public just not worth it for them. Silly.

That's exactly what I meant, a win win situation. "Hey, we know we fucked up, but here let us get you some very much discounted contracts to rebuild your country". And don't get me started on politicians. :/

Edit: I meant to say, you've worded it correctly/better than I did :)
