Iraqi reparations will be postponed indefinitely, or at least until we leave. All of Iraq's oil wealth will be spent on Iraq for the foreseeable future. At roughly $1000 per person per year it can buy a lot of goodwill, provided it's spread around fairly. It's that latter part that worries me, knowing the mentality of the crowd that controls the pumps.

<<< They have TVs, and they know how good life is here in the US. And if they're like most of the 3rd world, they're convinced that our wealth is due to our exploitation of their raw materials.>>> Astonishing isn't it. With The entire Congress inhabited by idiots and war-mongering thugs running the Administration. Why couldn't we have just left things alone, let the Terrorists take out the Sears Tower or the Superbowl. Who needs Chicago anyway?. Or overpaid athletes?. Life is so good here . Sink a sub in Pearl, we can spare a sub or two. Those Arabs will always hate us anyway.We should have kept that $2 bil in cash and gold our troops found in Iraq. Nobody will appreciate or even remember us giving it back, even if it did pay to fix the electrical power. Why provide electrical power to people who will hate us anyway, and kill our troops besides.. All is futility, its time to call back those 300k troops, let them kill themselves at a greater rate on our freeways like normal people do H--l, there probably never was a Saddam or an OBL anyway, nobody has found them so they don't exist. All was lies and deceit, a figment of GWB's imagination, supported by doctored "evidence" provided by the NSA and CIA to please the boss. I tell you, Bilow, the world is going to H--l in a handbasket and fast, while the rich get ever richer Sig .
