Iraq was a strategic defeat for the US. They didn't manage to achieve what they wanted due to constant massive peaceful demostrations and to a lesser extent the insurgency. Hence bids going out to Chinease companies, Shia Iranina political influence etc. The decision makers have decided it's not worth it anymore just like in Vietnam, it's doing more harm than 'eventual' good which looked increasingly unlikely. |
You mean the stuff they were supposed to get rid of thanks to the agreed to UN sanctions?
