As soon as this debt is forgiven, just watch how belligerent their attitude will get.......Small potatoes? That''s to the tune of giving every American a $22,333.00 check. Politicians have no problem buying pretend friends with YOUR money.

Well, can we go and "demand" all countries we have debts with forgive our $9 trillion debt also. Because that would help the value of our dollar out immensly. Maybe we can just ask the war profiteers to give the money back to us.

They paid back their debt already to private "american" multinational corporations. Cheney got his out of the deal. It''s the american taxpayer, the average worker who is not part of the private government right wing scam that saddles the burden of debt. While paying proportionately less in tax, the private corporatists have profited off the war.

This is just how the first Iraq war started!
Saddam sent his guy to Kuwait to ask them to forgive some huge debts. The Kuwait emir told him he would rather see every women in Bagdad become a $10whore to pay off the debt. Iraq invaded Kuwait right after. This was told to the FBI investigator by Saddam himself after his capture.

I wouldn''t care if they were completely broke, they should repay us for the money we spent pulling their ***** out of the fire. We did their dirty work now they should pay us what they owe us. We should own that piece of land ten thousand times over.

"Iraq is demanding world countries to reopen embassies and to cancel debts," al-Maliki told reporters in Stockholm.





Who in the f*** are you to "DEMAND" anything? You''re just another Bush puppet.

A little-noticed civil lawsuit in Florida is shining a light on an unusual but hugely profitable Pentagon contract to ship millions of gallons of aviation fuel to U.S. bases in Iraq through the kingdom of Jordan.

The deal involves a cast of influential characters, including the king of Jordan%u2019s brother-in-law, who is suing Harry Sargeant III, a top Florida-based fundraiser for Sen. John McCain''s presidential bid.

Sargeant is a Florida businessman and former Marine Corps pilot hailed by the McCain campaign as a "Trailblazer" for raising $100,000 or more in political donations. Through a company called International Oil Trading Co., or IOTC, Sargeant and a partner have a lucrative contract worth hundreds of millions of dollars per year to supply American military forces in Iraq with fuel, especially aviation fuel. The firm ships the fuel to Jordan and then trucks it across the border, where U.S. forces escort the convoys to air bases.

You would probably be more effective if you advanced an argument that convinced Halliburton that it was in their interests to have Iraq pay off their debts.

lollllll....
