Mission accomplished

On the first day of the occupation of Baghdad, billions of dollars of Iraqi oil wealth went missing. Mission accomplished! Moreover, Iraq is not after all a political failure, for it has in fact been successfully remade in the image of the US, or at least the red-state vision thereof: a massively corrupt oil sector, an ineffective government, collapsing public services, women being put back in their place, and everyone has a gun. Mission accomplished!
