Look at this stupidity
A good deal if you are Iraq.

IMF says could provide aid to Iraq if it pays back debt first
Thursday, July 1, 2004 5:58:36 PM

WASHINGTON (AFX) - The International Monetary Fund said it has a number of means at its disposal to support Iraq now that power has been transferred to an interim government, to be granted under the condition that the country pays its arrears

Spokesman Thomas Dawson said that following the IMF's official recognition of the Iraqi government "which should be imminent, the fund could appoint a financial aide attached to the assistance committee it sends to countries that are emerging from a conflict", but Iraq will have to settle its IMF debt first

The country owes the IMF some 80 mln usd, Dawson said, adding that the assistance funds for Iraq could amount to 850 mln usd
==========================================================
Hmmm
Let's see the IMF will loan Iraq 850 million if it first pays back 80 million.

Why don't they just loan Iraq 770 million and call it a day?
