What do I see in Iraq in 10 years from now? The country split into 4, Sunnis in one bit, Kurds in another and the ****es in another. The 4th part would be the oilfields under control of the Allied nations.

I've always said split it into 3 (or 4 as you say, or 5 if you & Turkey want to include Kurdistan). Sunnis and Shiites have been warring for 1,300 years so I think it will be a long while before they can live together peacefully, if ever. The Kurds, I don't know much about, by my intrepretation of them is they just sit by and watch the other two destroy each other.
If my knowlege of Iraq is correct, A big circle was drawn around all these completely incompatible tribes (by Britain/League Of Nations?) and said "We'll call it Iraq". The first step to sorting it is reversing that. If you have two kids who really won't play nicely together, what is the point of endlessly pushing them?
