Did you check the floor plans on the "Embassies" we are building?

Pray tell... Are you referring to former Saddam palaces?

And, follow the money. Who printed all the new Iraqi currency and who controls the Iraqi Financial system?

Yes... follow the money.. including the over $5 billion that was diverted directly to Saddam, and the over $1 Billion that apparently went to corrupt UN members/leaders, from the oil for food program.

And look at the impact that US control over Iraq's new currency has had. It went from hyper-inflation to some measure of stability. A stability which is all important for any restructuring economy hoping to attract foreign capital.

Besides, we all know that Saddam and his cohorts loved the US dollar. We discovered billions of dollars worth of it.
