It's payback time for Iraq. After the U.S. spent hundreds of billons of dollars on the Iraqi occupation, the hunt of Saddam, the institution of a fledgling democracy and then on rebuilding the war ravaged, strife-torn country, the Iraqis are now buying weapons worth $26 billion from the U.S.

With Iraq coughing up billions of dollars on weapons, the external debt of the country will further inflate, it has been pointed out. According to Exotix, a London-based frontier market debt trading firm, Iraq's external debt was between $103 billion and $129 billion.

War is Business - The blood of the dead the ink it signs off on.

A ton of the money shipped over there (from the U.S.) will be recirculated back to the weapons industry through these purchases.

I guess it's ok for when Iraq falls further into chaos to have a healthy stockpile of weapons. We mess the bed we make to put it lightly.

So, Looks like the Pentagon will be making room for all it's new weapons as well. I guess We The People will be forced to foot the bill.

War....what is it good for?

Absolutely Profits!

A twenty-six billion dollar sop to the defense industry? International arms sales to corrupt puppet governments? That damn socialist Communist hippy Obama!
