Success Iraq Style

The New York Times is reporting that there is some success in Iraq. But not the kind the Americans were expecting. Of course its not what the neo-cons predicted but in one of those twists of fate it is a neo con strategy. Remember Wolfowitz saying that Iraq would be self-sustaining after the American Invasion. Well it is.

The insurgency in Iraq is now self-sustaining financially, raising tens of millions of dollars a year from oil smuggling, kidnapping, counterfeiting, connivance by corrupt Islamic charities and other crimes that the Iraqi government and its American patrons have been largely unable to prevent, a classified United States government report has concluded.
