The plot thickens...Iraq is a Do or Die proposition

[linazelle]

CBS' Sunday Morning program featured "post-war" Iraq and Laith Kubba, who worked with 200 professional Iraqi exiles for a year to devise a State Department plan to rebuild Iraq ahead of the invasion. He says their plan was shelved when the Defense Department took control of reconstruction away from the State Department just before the war started.


Kubba's assessment of the occupation is damning:


"If America succeeds in Iraq, it will be a huge turning point, a triumphant turning point to America, not only in the region, but in the world. If America fails in Iraq, that means Osama bin Laden and others have won, and America will be on the retreat," concludes Kubba.
