The site says Iraq holds the second largest reserves of light crude in the world. Oil goes on the world market. Breakdown the percentages for the five yrs since 2000. Then add what is being bought through the world market as a percentage of total oil acquisitions divided by the percentage provided on the world market by Iraqi reserves. There you go.
What is hard about that.
Now your reply that the insurgency requires little in the way of internal support is not acceptable. It requires tremendous amounts of popular support and that is admitted in the latest military analysis as per our high command. That is their real problem; stopping any influx of aid from Syria and Iran has already been accomplished. That was all those manuevers on the western border for the last year.
Without an acknowledgement that popular support is what fuels the insurgency we are living in fantasy land and cannot have a rational dialogue.
The question you have for me is way too broad in scope. What would I do concerning what aspect of mid-east politics particularly in Iraq needs to be defined a little more specifically. It's like asking how would you handle relations with the EU and the economic dynamics of currency stabilisation. That would take a couple hundred pages.
So since I ask you a simple question of who supports this massive insurgency I will answere a simple and direct question dealing with a specific aspect of Iraqi policy gladly. So shoot; whats the specific question you would like to know?
