Put it on the open market! Flood the exchanges with it just to drive the goldbugs INSANE. That'd be worth $500 million to me.40 tons isn't that much. Britain was putting 25 tons on the market every month a couple of years ago if I remember correctly.

Iraq is not a poor country, but it is a looted and abused country.

Those crazy Nazrani, they'll believe any bs a Muslim tells them. Gold barsa and bronze bars, they don't differ in weight by more than hundreds of pounds, non?
To: Redbob
80K lbs would be no problem for an American-made Class 8 truck - but it would be illegal in many states, 80K lbs being the max allowable GVW. Gold is measured in troy weight. A pound of gold is 12 ozs.

Somebody's crying.

They aren't poor over there, they just have dictatorships, regimes, and royal families who keep all the money for themselves, rob the country blind, steal, pilfer, enrich themselves, all while the people in the countries are starving. Somehow they manage to deflect all the blame on the US and UK. Before Oslo the Average Arab under Israel had a
$10,000 a year annual income. After Oslo it dropped to $2,000 when Arafat was put in power over them. Now around 8 years later it is $850. Yep, that is a years income! Your words are right on the mark, accept in this case they deflect the blame onto Israel.
