That the current state of affairs in Iraq seems counterproductive for a Western "plot" is, it seems, simply due to the US's traditional inability to understand that countries don't like invasion or puppet regimes (and Iraq's had more than its fair share of those), and that instability is guaranteed in such situations. So, either the US and the UK have badly underestimated the result of taking the reigns, or they suspected it all along, knowing that another pile of old cobblers fed to the dumb masses will be enough to warrant the final, lucrative step. Remember, the colossal dollar cost of the war and post-war "peace keeping" is buttons compared to what we'll get from the oil sales.
In sum: we NEVER, EVER intended anything different than getting our greedy mitts on the only asset Iraq has. Not long now, I suggest, before we get our way.
