“During the five-month period, the top ten countries (in terms of dollar amount) making investments were: Hong Kong, the British Virgin Islands, Japan, the Republic of Korea (South Korea), Singapore, the United States, the Cayman Islands, Samoa, Taiwan and Mauritius. “

That’s complete bunk.

The United States has spent Billions (about 5 billoin so far) rebuilding Iraq.

And left tons of blood on the ground doing so.

Wow. Sorry for me posting a news story. The article is talking about companies from those nations (course I imagine a good 'conservative' such as yourself will limit who companies should trade with eh?). I should have just asked Dave. I mean Dave knows more than fact

The United States has spent Billions (about 5 billoin so far) rebuilding Iraq.

Um yeah. Right. About 4 years ago perhaps. From last year

Iraq's deputy finance minister, Kamal Field al-Basri, said it was "reasonable" for the United States to sharply cut back its reconstruction efforts after spending about $21 billion.

So 21 billion last year Dave. But heck it's just taxpayer money, let's throw some more at 'em eh? Not to mention the $12 billion 'lost. So that's up to over $30 billion in 'rebuilding' costs Dave. How much more should we waste on unconstitutional ventures?

So tell me, are you upset that the Iraqis are exercising their sovereignty that we supposedly 'gave' them or is it that they're not trading with our nation as if they owe us something?
