That's strange, because I would think that a deadline for removing troops would encourage actual, real development in Iraq. Have a contractor build a house at an hourly wage without a deadline to finish, he's going to milk it for as long as he can (unless he's an idiot).
Just goes to show how the conservatives in power have become so far removed for conservativism. Bastian's fear-mongering logic won't last much longer as an excuse to fleece Iraq.
