Iraq will pay $14,000 for Americans brought in dead, $28,000 for Americans captured alive.

Good luck cashing that check.

[ChicagoRepublican]

Oh boy a whole whopping 14 THOUSAND. We could afford giving every Iraqi in the country an even 20 thousand so they wouldn't attack us.

Expected value of payment (value times chance of collection): $14000*0 = 0.

Life expectancy after attempt to kill American: 0.

Running a rug shop for tourists in Baghdad next year: priceless.

[Maigrey]

H***, we spend so much more to train them and then give them all that cool gear. They won't want to surrender... 8-}

LOL ,Kinda hard to pay when you don't have any money.

We could afford giving every Iraqi in the country an even 20 thousand so they wouldn't attack us.

Or, for $2.75, we could put a bullet in their heads.

I don't have a problem with this as they didn't seem to stipulate which Americans. I think the price is a little steep for the likes of Jeaneane Garofalo, Sean Penn, etc., but if Sad Ham is willing to pay, who am I to argue their value. By all means, they'd be delivered alive. Can you imagine the headaches and earaches among the Iraqi hierarchy after a couple of days of listening to these whiners?!

I would probably be guilty of a serious crime if I offered $14,000.00 of my own money to anyone who brought me Saddam's head on a stick, so I won't.
