Iraq's Russian debt is particularly hard to pin down. Supposedly 65% of it will be forgiven, but it's quoted in dollars. But the rubble to dollar exchange ratio has been all over the place in the last couple of decades, when this debt was incurred. I will not be surprised if Russia is actually getting a windfall here. Everybody is feeding off of the American tax payer in Iraq (or rather the children and grandchildren of the American taxpayer), why not Russia.

Could you possibly have posted that without including the insults?

<<Uh, the coincidence is that James Baker went and asked them for debt forgiveness and gave them something in return, LOL. >> Yep LOL, he had something on them LOL. Saddam probably has the whole ball of wax in his briefcase or so it seems now. When I suggested that Saddam had some information in his personal files you called me naive and never knew anything and sent me a PM Faultline sent you about a great post. If I had posted you with the same personal stuff, I'd be banned. Saddam comes up with billions stashed ? No big deal. Ok, FL will ban me for voicing my opinion which doesn't agree with yours.
