Hey, how did you get into my basement?

[CantDog]

If I had my elbow on that much money, I'd at least be smiling.

[pollard]

If I was that close to that much money I would try to steal some. I would try really hard not to but it would be too tempting.

they need to drop that out of the C 130 right over my house

Iraq is a wealthy country.

Iraqis are not wealthy people.

Saddam stole that money from starving families.

Now Halliburton is going to steal it back.





To those of you dreaming of stealing quick riches, think about how that money was hoarded-- the human cost extracted from generations of innocent people-- and then think about what a fraction of that could do for the people whose money it is. The Iraqi people. Grow the fuck up and get a job. Or at least attempt to broaden your world view.

That money was frozen by the US government and has been returned to the Iraqi people. The pilot is a friend that finally retuned from Iraq this week. Some of his other pics are just as mind boggleing.

Like this one of one of the palace's

Damn good compilation of information, Pinner.

Taking over Iraq - 47Billion$
Getting Saddams stolen $$$ - 47Billion$
Finding that rat bastard in a shithole, priceless . . .

Did anybody watch the Iraq/Saddam special on Discovery the other night? I didn't know Iraq circumvented the OPEC embargo in '73 and sold oil to the US...it's amazing how many people we've directly or indirectly funded that have become our enemies (Saddam and the Taliban are two that come to mind).

That was disturbing, I didn't watch all of it. The random execution of officals at that meeting were crazy, no one knew what charges were actually against them or what they had actually done he just called out names, called them traitors and had them executed.
