IRAQI WIRTSCAFTSWUNDER

Get a load of this:

The organisation [the IMF] says the Iraqi gross domestic product (GDP), or total economic output, should soar 52 per cent this year.

Then 17 per cent in 2005 and 9 per cent a year on average from 2006 to 2009.

The analogy to Japan and Germany was right all along. (Hat tip: Chrenkoff.)
