1. That's cheap.

That's like 3 days worth of US expenditures.

8. The pathetic thing is

that those 1 billion dollars will go farther in influencing Iraqis than the quarter of a trillion or whatever we put in there up til now.

2. I wonder how fast their investments will be blown up by the

opposition

6. Do you mean the coalition? About a week.

7. I was thinking the same thing...

but Iran will protect it's investments with the lives of US soldiers....

They will build infrastructure in a year....and put more egg on the US face...

Wait there is more....If the Iraqi government wants Irans help...what will the US do? Will they remove the Iraqi government?
