Iraqis Joining Insurgency Less For Cause Than Cash

Reads a late 2007  Washington Post headline.  In 2003,  I noted The  Bank Of Iraq heist by Saddam Hussein's sons gave Baathist mafia bosses two truckloads-- about 15 tons-- of crisp 100 dollar bills to spread around. But nothing lasts forever.

Could their cash flow problem morph into our exit strategy?
