Hurrah! Curiousity WinS!!!!! You got it...the U.S. has invested how much ? 400 Billion, and yet the U.N. has HUNDREDS of billions IN the bank account they are tending for IRAQ.
Now why?
This makes no sense at all, and this 'HELD' money which would have otherwise have been taken by the corrupt government officals and terrorists. Yes we as NATO countries have an obligation to pay the price of peace, however with all this money and with the rebuilding of this country, some of that money needs to help NATO to pay for the horrendous expense.
The reason for all the opposition to continue the war is the expense and the death. If their was enough money our troops would have the qualtity equipment that they deserve to have.
An example is the old tanks being used.
A UK EXAMPLE of using equipment that is sub-standard is the aircraft that exploded killing soldiers and personnel because it landed on a land mine. The aircraft was not equiped with handing the explosive [as other newer models do, and this could have saved lifes].
In the meantime, the Iraqi's are really hopeless soldiers, actually when asked to lead the charge they simply cannot do it. Then to top everything off, they expect all this to happen at the NATO country expense, and then are having their leaders threaten and show disrespect for what has been accomplished.
Yep, the Iraqi's have billions, from oil, accumulating, while we are all, as taxpayers, paying the bill. And by the by, with billions stashed away, there is ABSOLUTELY NO NEED for outside humanitarian aid.
