This is wonderful! After living for 30 years with bribery and corruption, these people are discovering the uplifting you get from honor. What a wonderful thing. It goes to prove that the Iraqi people have integrity, and they deserve the freedom they are getting.

I hope we make a BIG deal out of this.

Now michael moore can write a new movie about how we are either planting gold to make it look like saddam was keeping it for himself, or that we took it to build a new Elvis Presley Memorial Bowling Alley for the troops in Baghdad.

I was at the real one in Friedberg, Germany. Nothing fancy about it, but up to spec for the 1970s. BTW, Ray Barracks, where Elvis was assigned, is scheduled to be closed and returned to the German Government by 2006.

Send the gold to US.

pictures of the bars show gleaming yellow bricks.

You don't suppose it's the elusive yellowcake?

"It just shows you the character and integrity of the people will come up and surprise you," said Maj. Martin Casado, the operations officer for the 1st Battalion, 4th Regiment of the Marines, 1st Division, which is headquartered here.

"They will definitely surprise you and make you feel like you are here for a reason, and it's a good reason."

And we will see this on the evening news when? Good things are happening over there every day but the media choose to focus on the negative. GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

Because reporting the truth would upset their agenda

That's why I email news articles out all the time

If the media won't get the truth out there .. We need to get it out there

Good story, thanks for posting. I love the quote "Big, big surprise, you love me now. We have metal, much metal"! Any little bit helps in financing this thing and it's refreshing to hear a guy making that little turn down a bribe for that much.

Half listening to the History Ch. tonight. A 14" or so cube of gold weighs around a ton...

I hope it IS gold for the reasons you list! That would be great.

I do love the story of them guarding it so and the different padlocks. Great stuff.

You can rest assured a story of this type, if mentioned at all by the liberal print media, will be buried on page 10. There is no chance whatsoever you'll see it on the evening network news.
