At the height of the post-Iraqi invasion, when massive truckloads of American dollars were being distributed across Iraq and to onsite contractors, the U.S. Air Force was regularly flying transport aircraft carrying the loot to Iraq. The ‘Iraqi’ nationals would only accept payment in American dollars and so the U.S. Treasury was kept busy supplying the demand. Most of the money was simply handed out to nationals, with few recepts given. Apparently, that is the way the local system worked. The television images of pallet after pallet, loaded with millions of American dollars each trip, was mindboggling. The money was American held reserves confiscated from Saddam’s regime, at the time of the original Gulf War, plus seizing of Iraqi assets in the United States.

Andy,

I hate to break it to you but, you are the wrong sex, the wrong color and you are either too young or too old to get a skid of free money. So just suck it up, like the rest of us, and spend what you can to support some one else. :slight_smile:

Broken tractor, broken truck, track to buy, you need more than a cup of coffee. Ther’s a Diet Coke in a bottle in the box for you. Pick it up, anytime.
