"Iraq May Have $79B Budget Surplus"

The good news just keeps getting better.

This means that the Iraq government will likely find a way to share oil profits with the 18 provinces in the country, since now there is money to be shared. And that means America won''t have to pay for their reconstruction projects.

It''s all working out, just as fast as it should.

Of course, the liberals here at home try to make this "bad news", but really - who cares what liberals think anymore? They''ve lost their War on America, so their credibility is right out the window.

Because Iraqis would rather hire their own people to do the work of reconstruction. The whole thing is just a big way for Bush to give American tax dollars away to Halliburton and his other friends. Iraqis can pay their own bills and do a better job of rebuilding their own country.

Because the Iraqi government is not stupid enough to award no bid contracts to Halliburton and its subsidiaries, so someone has to make sure W, Darth Cheney and company continue to pad their retirement funds for as long as possible.
