The U.S. has had 250 years experience at wars and mayhem and it most certainly knew what would take place when they cut loose 30 percent of the Sunni population who were the best educated and the most well armed within the country.
The U.S. also knew that to bring a population to it's knees, you need to destroy the infrastructure in Iraq as they did in Libya as well.
“However, we were shocked, when total destruction began – destruction of infrastructure, of buildings, etc. When we asked Americans, why they do that, we were told that, after destruction, there will be rebuilding. “We will rebuild everything and it will be better than before,” they said. Those were the promises. They have never been fulfilled,”
--Former Iraqi Defense Minister, Hazem Shaalan, May 26, 2016--
The U.S. never had any real intention of ever-ever-ever leaving Iraq. Does anybody think that the U.S. would spend a trillion dollars or more in Iraq because it was kind to animal week?
It would not surprise me that the CIA was loading remotely controlled explosives into vehicles with unsuspecting drivers who drove aimlessly throughout Iraq on daily errands, and allowed Special Forces to explode the vehicle at any time or place of their liking.
There are stories where U.S. troops were tying dead Iraqi's to the hoods of their jeeps and baking them in the sun and with the heat of the vehicle engine.
"On one of my trips to drop off a detainee at the jail, the Senior Interrogator told us not to bring them in any more. ‘Just shoot them’ he said, I was stunned, I couldn’t believe he actually said it. He was not joking around, he was giving us a directive. A few days later a group of Humvees from another unit passed by one of our machine gun positions, and they had the bodies of two dead Iraqi’s strapped to their hoods like a couple of deer. One of the bodies had exposed brain matter that had begun to cook onto the hood of the vehicle, it was a gruesome, medieval display."

The British were found to have dressed their troops in Iraqi garments and were found to be committing atrocities as well.
Read American and British history throughout the ages and it proves without a doubt that this is how "Imperialism Operates."
Money is a weapon of war .....
And the reason that there was skids of cash being flown into Iraq was to funnel it to tribal leaders which caused huge dissention and jealousy between all tribal groups ..... Divide and Conquer.
Democracy was never meant to succeed in Iraq.
Remember Condi Rice passing George Bush the note .... "Freedom Reigns"?
Hazem Shaalan revealed that the first post-Saddam Iraqi government was not elected but instead was fully appointed by Washington
“I was not independent in my ministry,” Shaalan said. “Inside the ministry, there were American inspectors in each department. There were also the British and Australians. There was not a single one department in the ministry, where there would be no inspectors.”
And after 15 years, the U.S. has yet to supply proper planes and helicopters to the Iraqi army so that they might control their own airspace.
Who Are Americans To Think That Freedom Is Theirs To Spread?
Look at the "Democratic" government which was imposed upon Afganistan ....
The president of Afghanistan appoints the governors of each province and district, the mayor of every town, every provincial chief of police, one third of the entire Senate, and even every judge in Afghanistan.
