6. $12B... in pallets of cash

it's about $500 per PERSON for every Iraqi. That might have even been enough to buy a lot of loyalty from the population.
but it just vanished.

Idiots.

I figure eventually we will end up spending $25,000 to $50,000 for every man woman and child in Iraq by the time we get out.
That's only $625B to $1.3T.

for $25K per person, I think every Iraqi in the country would have sold us everything in the country (oil included).

8. 39 years ago, in one of Pat Paulson's editorials..

Pat said that in the latest Government studies,

the United States was spending $20,000 for each

enemy killed in Vietnam and he figured that we could buy them

off much cheaper than that.

Strange, if you stick around long enough, you find

that things repeat themselves and almost no one learns

from the mistakes we made in the past.

By the way, Pat Paulson was a combat veteran in WW II.

11. Holy shit! n/t

[uppityperson]

12. That's a lot of money. They stole it. Untraceable 360 tons worth.

[Laurab]

13. Actually it was Iraqi money

and I bet they'd like it back from those fucking criminals. Apparently, Iraqi money was ours to spend any way we wanted - or give away, or steal, and we did plenty of it, with Bremer's assistance.
