I think the author gives Cohen too much credit for being "naive" - it sounds like Cohen knows what he's up to - promoting anything that will help the Israeli right's expansionist agenda. Carving up Iraq & privatizing its oil is the best way to keep future Iraqi governing entities that could be unfriendly toward Israel out of the picture, b/c those entities would be too busy dealing w/ internal fighting to be of much use on the international stage & b/c those entities would also be economically crippled as a result of the fighting & denationalized oil. Just my thoughts.
