"This is indeed a very good time to own U.S. Dollars, and a terrible time to owe U.S. Dollars." lets all revisit this statement next week when the dollar tumbles On Friday I sold my USD money market fund, never to own it again for all enternity. I'd rather die than see the US ever regain its credibility and financial strength and be able to try to continue the "New American Century" which is a joke so far. We need a new world leader...ANYONE WILL DO.

What are the US expenses on a monthly basis in Iraq and separately in Afghanistan? I heard something like 3 to 4 billion – this is puny to what AIG is requiring on a monthly basis to date Not to mention the other financial institution with hat in hand before the treasury / FED Also keep in mind that part of the money spend in Iraq is recycled in the US and providing jobs - AIG black hole just sucks up money Also do you have any information about the Iraqis paying back part of the expenses?
