"More than 90 percent of that money comes from Iraq''s booming oil business, reports Reid. The high price of oil, that causes so much pain in the U.S., is filling the coffers in Iraq."

Not to worry, a lot of that money will end up right back in the Swiss bank accounts of Cheney''s cronies.

Just shows how stupid and irresponsible the Bush Cheney management team is. McCain would continue with more of the same stupidity and probably make it worse by attacking Iran which probably would result in backlash from Russia and China. Hey, what the heck. The Army can handle it, right?

What does that pay for a few months of the ongoing American war OF terror?

They don''t defend the surplus - they try to. And fail.

Iraq has a $80 billion surplus, and we are $9 trillion in debt, AND WE''RE GIVING THEM MONEY! Even the French didn''t take it in the _ss THAT bad before their revolution!
