IMF: Iraqi economy buoyed by high oil prices
buried in this interesting article is a little gem:

http://www.csmonitor.com/2005/0817/p01s02-usfp.html

<"SOARING OIL PRICES,however, have buoyed Iraqs bottom line...."

"Iraq's medium-term outlook appears satisfactory as long as expansion in oil production proceeds without undue interruption and world oil prices remain at favorable levels" concludes an IMF staff report>

Where to start on this? Shit, this is one thing even the chimp can wrap his simian mind around...he truly has hit the trifecta, the deficit gets huge, his buddies get rich, and he gets the war he wants, while other people die....and pay for it

Christ 185 billion taxpayer dollars so far, AND we have to pay for it at the pump too?

Lemme guess the freep meme will be: support our troops -pay more for gas :eyes:
