I really posted this because of the wording that I underlined, not necessarily because of the visit - yes, that was 'old news', but this was the first time I saw Biden quoted as saying this outright....I don't think the US is going to let Iraq not be 'prosperous' ,' it is the most significant strategic thing to happen to the US '( whatever that really alludes to?) Does the US have the ability to 'pull strings' in this area? That comment among others I've been reading makes it sound like our government does somehow .... Sorry, I'm a newbie...
