High gas prices in Iraq. Where is the money going?
They say the Iraqis are complaining that they are paying six times more for gas than before the war. If that is true, then where is the money going. If it is going to rebuilding the oil facilities, fine. However I would tend to check out who is running the oil program in Iraq and the fact that Chabili a Bush puppet, has been given the oil minister title. Will this get to the MSM?

1. Into suitcases.......
then it's being air-lifted (yes, there's that much of it) to the United States in care of : Halliburton, c/o Richard Cheney Washington, DC

The oil companies are giving the Iraqis a taste of what American style "freedom" is all about. Freedom is not free, you know?

3. Yes, they complain, and rightly so
these people do not make the "big money" people over here make.

Plus, there's that whole "my country has been turned into a war zone" without our consent or desire thing...
