Hey Iraq, Give Us Our Money Back!

No seriously. This has been one of those things that hasn’t been talked about at all. When we went to war with Iraq, the politicians were saying that we’d get the war paid for by Iraq oil revenues. The country would “repay” us for getting rid of Saddam Hussein by sharing their oil revenues. Well now, $400 billion later, Iraq is projected to have up to $50 billion in budget surplus this year and all I have to say is “where is out share?“. At least some congressmen are speaking out about this, like Senator Carl Levin:

We should not be paying for Iraqi projects while Iraqi oil revenues continue to pile up in the bank, including outrageous profits from $4-a-gallon gas prices in the U.S.

    Of course you can expect that kind of thing from an adminstration full of idiots. They are already rich from oil and have shown the country how incompentent they are. What is so mind boggling is that as uncoordinated as the Mc same operation is, there is a lot of people voting for him knowing what we have gone through so far economically. Why would anyone in their right mind want to give away their money to another country that hates us so much during a time when pensions are almost non existant, everything is going up in cost including health care. Mc Cain admitted that he knows nothing about economics. His experience is war. Fighting a war that will not benefit the American people. How can fighting a war in Iraq protect America when their are terror cells in this country and world wide. We need a president who can think on his feet and get us out of this quamire. vote Obama no other choice.
