In case no one noticed iraq is broke.
So the us will have to pay for the immediete reconstruction.
We want to hire us companies to soften the blow to the us taxpayer.
If the french or germans or whoever, want to help they can kick in money and hire their own firms.
But i don't want to see one dime of my tax money going to the french or germans.

Well it won't cos your taxes go to your government, innit
You don't need to be blessed with psychic powers to work out who will really be stumping up the ginormous cost of this war (with interest)
Maybe in the bank but there's a reason for that. In fact they have a zillion barrels of black gold which may just help as collattoral with certain interested parties...
Isn't the UN keeping a trust fund of sorts for Iraq from the "Oil for Food" program?

We are so caught up with our own story of "America's liberation of Iraq," and the Arab TV networks are so caught up with their own story of "America's occupation of Iraq," that everyone seems to have lost sight of the real lives of Iraqis.
We must fix Iraq fast or be blamed for all of its ills

pbman - george bush and co are using handing over your tax dollars directly over to their very close friends in the form of juicy reconstruciton contracts.
Its called corruption on a grand scale.
If I were you I'd get out there and pull down some statues.

I know corruption very well, most of our local democrats are masters at the game.
But on a deal like this there is no need for courption.
They can make a lot of money without it.
An my brother works for a Halliburton company.
And he also own stock in it.
Big profits means that he can afford to send his kids to a nice college.
Better they get the contracts than the french.

Excellent link joe dick. On Channel 4 snews this evening they wheeled on an exiled Iraqi professor who insinuated that Al-Khoei might have been assassinated by Iraqi intelligence agents!! The link you provide seems to tell it like it was.
Al-Khoei went to Iraq from London with B-liar's blessing just a few days ago. Its not much of a welcome for the Slime Ministers envoy is it!
Also on C4 news I saw an "embedded" TV reporter rescue an injured family (including a six year old kid) from their car which trigger happy marines had fired on. Why the marines didn't help escapes me. I got quite emotional seeing the journo carrying that kid, who had head injuries apparantly.

US Marines shot dead 2 children by accident in Nasiraya when 2 cars failed to stop at a road block
9 civilians also injured

No weapons were found (BBC). I can't help feeling marines are just too trigger happy and not properly trained in communicating, this tragedy could have been avoided.

If you paid a decent level of tax and spent it properly then ALL Americans might be able to get the chance to get to a decent college. Think about it. There is a cause and effect on most things in this world.

Ahmad Chalabi, the US hawks favourite for running post-war Iraq, was being interviewed on the Channel 4 lunchtime news today.He said he was not standing as a candidate for leadership of Iraq.
Did anyone else see this as I can't find any reports of it anywhere? [/URL] edited to add - well they didn't mention it in the evening news. Wonder whats happening there then. -Come on someone else must of seen the lunchtime C4 news- tell me I didn't imagine it!!
On a less serious note try this -did Saddam escape Iraq in a crashed UFO?

BBC Radio 5:
BBC reporters are saying that Baghdad is "tense." There are gangs of men on street corners in the Shi'ite areas of Baghdad, like Saddam City. Nurses are standing outside of the hospitals with guns to defend them against militia loyal to the regime which are still moving around Baghdad relatively freely.
One reporter watched a man being beaten to death with iron bars for being "in the wrong place at the wrong time."
Another reporter used the words "on the verge of civil war."
Children are being shot at check points.
The tone of the reporting is being changed from one of hope, to one of fear.

And news today, that Bliar is said to be 'livid' at the media's portrayal of the latest situation in Baghdad.
What the fuck does that spineless fucker want? To continually re-run the footage of Saddam's statue being pulled down to the strains of Jerusalem? And what about this 'Towards Freedom" TV that they are broadcasting? With everything going up in flames what on earth do ordinary Iraqis make of that?
