lol...here's the press release:

By Hassan Hafidh
BAGHDAD, Sept 14 ( Reuters ) - Iraq's top leaders on Thursday said they wanted to stop trading with the U.S. dollar and replace it with the euro or any other currency.

The Iraqi News Agency, quoting a statement by the cabinet after a meeting chaired by President Saddam Hussein, said that the planned move was to confront the "daily American-Zionist aggression" against Iraq.

"The cabinet has decided to assign a committee of economists with the task of seriously studying the possibility of using the euro or any other currency instead of the dollar in the commercial transactions of our foreign contracts," the statement said.

"...The U.S. dollar is one of the levers of our enemy's influence and power on both regional and international levels," it said.
