Works for me - now let's beat it out of the UN, the french, the krauts and the russians.
Those sobs skimmed WAY more than that from "oil for food".

Pathetic. W should confiscate $444 billion in oil from the sand-lizards over there. Simple answer to a simple issue.

In some ways, I agree with you. If you do not mind sharing; for whom did your vote last November 2, 2004? Inquiring minds would like to know.

In this particular instance, you are absolutely right. Noone wrote off America's debts when this country was founded. Is it not enough that we are paying to liberate these people? It's not like Iraq won't have revenue to pay their debts. This is insane.
As of 12/16/2004, the national debt stands at $7,519,646,830,227.83.

The AMerican People are SLAVES to the ELETIST and Party means nothing! I voted for Bush, and would Vate the same given the same choices, but this is NOT what I expected him to do. Regardless of the party, Democrats or Republican, They keep giving away the stor like theres no bottom. I'm really fed up with Both Parties. 2006 may bring something they are not ready for.

Damn... just what I needed to hear. I gotta pay capital gains this year.
Do you think Uncle Sam will write off my debt too?

United States writes off all of Iraq`s $4.1 billion debt Maybe the Admin Moderator could change the title to "American Tax Payers are forced to pay off Iraq's debt".
Just so no one gets confused.

Do the hundreds of thousands of innocent dead Iraqis mean anything?
