So, those from a business perspective have NOTHING credible to say or offer.

Come on, Brian. The 'economic environment' section reads like a late night info-mercial. A small sample:

"INTERVIEW: MICHAEL DOUGLAS
If people were to ask me how we can help the Kurdish people I would have to say we should be giving them the same kind of help we give others. We should be doing business with them.
.
"NARRATOR:
The Kurds of Iraq understand that the success of their fledgling democracy depends largely on the success of their economy. That's why they are throwing open their doors to international investors and introducing the world to their vast natural resources, including their extensive proven oil reserves waiting to be developed.
.
"INTERVIEW: DOUGLAS LAYTON
A lot of the people that have opted to come here and visit Iraqi Kurdistan are absolutely surprised that this is nothing like the rest of Iraq - that there is a secure, stable environment.

"So you're a European businessman thinking about investment. You've got investment funds. You're looking for a ground floor opportunity. I would urge you and encourage you to come and just have a look for yourself, because every single person that we've brought in - and we've brought in many delegations from all over the world - they come here and within twenty-four hours they begin to relax and they understand this nothing like what they've been watching on tv.
.
"NARRATOR:
With peace comes prosperity. Every day more business investors from around the world are making the surprising discovery of a land where the opportunities are endless, the doors are open, and the time to act is now."

.
But what does this commercial investment site have to do with the Iraq war? What point were you trying to make?
