Now this isn’t your standard beaurocrat ! What a dude. Looks like he actually has a personality! And yes, personality goes a long way. Looks like he is having a ball. That’s how you win the hearts and minds of your global audience folks. Hope he writes a best selling book and others follow suit..... excuse the pun. In fact , lose the suits!

Great man! what has the war brought really?? just stealing their oil? obviously.. why isn't all that oil profits being in the country to help rebuild the country. The war is purely for OIL wake up.. and the money isn't in Iraq.. its being funneled to the US..
