Guess they want to smooch off of Americans than to rebuild their own country.

It's the oil the United States is after, obviously. To maintain cheap labor and our position as a leading manufacturing country, there must be cheap labor (devalued dollar) and oil. Bush has done his job - but at what price?

The Fiscal Year has only just begun . . . what's all this premature griping?

Interesting - I am wondering if they are using the dividend interest off the USA Bank? We are talking millions of interest increasing every month just sitting in bank.

Seriously, They were not familiar with the report? Okay -- Now that's full of crap. Surely, They had to know about it for a while. It's a hypocrite.

Still problem with many terrorists.
Suicide bomber.
Some civil war.
kidnapped/hostage/murder
cost to re-building bridge, road, etc.

I think they just want to saving up the money to build the Iraqi military up again like in 1980's and early 1990's. They are planning to buy the Abrams as their main battle tanks.

That is no excuse for senior Iraqi officials. Sounds like they are up to something.
