“We lost out,” Bush Defense Department official Michael Makovsky admits to the Times. “The Chinese had nothing to do with the war, but from an economic standpoint, they are benefitting from it, and our Fifth Fleet and air forces are helping to assure their supply.” Actually, the Chinese had quite a bit to do with the war in that they profited from the interest on the loans they made that floated the U.S war debt. This debt will continue to increase as we remain stuck with the bill for that Fifth Fleet protecting the shipping lanes connecting Iraq’s oil with China’s ever expanding economy. ------ article about China reaping the spoils of the Iraq war. DUH-Bull-U (W) Bush could have cared less.
