Of course they're gonna let China in! So when they go into Iran, there will be less trouble. Think about it. Come on buddy, we will let you in on this and there is more to come! Don't get mad about us taking the 2, #2 largest reserves in the world, we'll let you in on some too.

A lower value of the US Dollar as Iraq sells the oil in Euro, Yuan or basket currencies instead of US Dollars.

We're going to take the Obama road. We're gonna tell China "Hey be nice", and they'll just say "ok, sorry". And all will be perfect in the world. By going to every country and doing that we'll achieve world peace in a couple days! Thank you messiah obama!

Actually, the issue is purely economic and btw I don't endorse Obama.

Plan on whooping a country with a developed military and 1B people?

I think Bush and McCain will keep very quiet just as the Chinese ordered them to.
