One of the President's first veto threats was actually over a Senate version of an Iraqi aid bill that would have required the Iraqis to pay back part of the cost with the proceeds from oil revenues. The House had made it a grant and that was the version actually passed.
Interesting......so if those oil $ are not being used to offset the cost of our efforts, where and who is getting that money? If production is 1 mill/bar per day (which I think is low) in a months time it becomes 30 mil X $ 60/bar which is around 1.2 billion........pretty good cash flow.
