"...if the Iraqis living around any projected sites for those bases had a word with their counterparts in Germany, they would find out that it would be like living on top of a gold mine." - teribus

I'm sure the Iraqis are quite capable of communicating with their "counterparts in Germany". How arrogant and out of touch you are. What makes you think Iraq and Germany can be compared? Apples and Oranges cannot be compared. You are so entrenched in the military that your livelihood and the well-being of your own family is dependent on war. What a pity.

Its really sad the way you talk in circles to justify your own existence at the expense of so many others.
