I found this amusing. Apparently the U.S. was holding a shitload of money from freezing Saddams assets and whatnot, so we gave it back to Iraq - in CASH. Yes, paper, cash, bills...FOUR BILLION DOLLARS IN CASH! The money was put onto pallets and flown to Iraq in a cargo plane. It was the largest cash shipment ever made by the federal reserve.

I just have to imagine somewhere in Iraq, there is a group of guys standing in a warehouse, and looming over them are 363 tons of bills, and they are like, "Holy fuck...4 billions dollars...what the hell do we do with all this?" Smile

Well, most of that will end up in alot of private hands, some will go to the terrorists, alot of it will fall into US hands again and the rest will be spent building the shithole that is called Iraq.
