Iraq is generating in excess of 10 billion dollars in revenue...Rose was surprised.

Haven't we all been told the revenues were low now but were expected to get better? So why do we have to pay anymore money? Sounds self supporting to me!

3. Maybe they want to keep Iraqs oil in the ground?

Taxpayer gets to pay for Republican rebuilding contracts while Bush keeps the Saud's oil priced at the historical highs. Free market biz practices, in reverse.
