What a dumb move.

We spend American dollar = American jobs. We don't get shit if we allow Iraqis to reconstruct their own country. Then the Iraqi war would be the equilvelent of throwing down a trillion or two down the toilet.
thcbongman Reviewed by thcbongman on . Dems want Iraqis to spend oil surplus We've done enough for Iraq. Either they start paying for things themselves, or we should take their oil. If it were up to me, I'd take the oil as compensation for what we've given in terms of lives and expenses. We've spent 500 billion dollars over there, and they've got 30 billion sitting in U.S. banks. Some of our expenses are ridiculous, such as the military paying the full open market prices of 3.23 a gallon, 153 million a month, for fuel in Iraq. Plus, they're having a record year in oil Rating: 5
