The goal is much broader than privitizing oil. The Bushies want to reinvent the Iraqi economy. Having gone through the re-invention of the power utilities in CA at the hands of Gov. Pete Wilson (R), Ken Lay (R), El Paso Natural Gas (R), et al, the Iraqis have my deepest sympathy.
The Bushies plan to delay the automony of the people of Iraq until after the state-owned industries have been auctioned off to the highest bidders. Of course, the highest bidders won't be Iraqis, since they have precious little capital.
That's why they can't cut and run. The pillaging isn't finished yet.
