Larger though We Grew in Size, Not a Thing Was Gained
Never before today has the utter strategic brilliance of the Iraq war been so clear to me, as I learn that the hundreds of billions spent, the thousands of soldiers killed, and the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis dead have all resulted in a sweet, sweet oil deal for the Chinese government.
Years ago I wish I'd thought to chant "no blood for oil for China," but I must admit, that did not occur to me.

Not content with being imperialists, they have to be incompetent imperialists. Kipling wept . . .
