Anyway, reading the last paragraph of your post, it would be very interesting to know who is getting that Iraqi money. Wonder if somehow GWBs cronies have their fingers, hands, elbows and arms in that pie.
And, what's the big deal about spending Iraqi money on Iraqi cities? Is that somehow charitable, noble, or mentionable?
