Wouldn't it be funny if the day Russia collects a big bag of money from Saddam is the day we start bombing...Use their own money to fund the war...
To: It'salmosttolate
More welcome good news to the economic health of a post Saddam Iraq.

"Mr Bush's nickname for the Russian president is "Pootie-Poot". I find this IMPOSSIBLE to believe...MUD

Looks like Russian will be rebuilding Iraq after Saddam follows the way of Ozymendias.

Well might as well do the whole thing:
that's 1.549 * 2700000000 = $41,823,000,000 Billion dollars

President Bush masterminds brilliant military strategery that topples paramount "evil doer" Saddam, liberates the people and Putin stands ready to implement marketing strategery. Hey, open up those market bazaars!

I don't put too much stock in this.
Putin knows that Saddam is about to check into the Roach Motel. He's doing this now because he knows the Iraqis are desperate to strike a deal with someone, anyone, to isolate the Americans.
I don't blame Putin at all. The Russians are probably raping Saddam six ways from Sunday. I would not want to be Saddam's people going up against Russian negotiators.
Putin knows that any agreements he makes with Saddam will be honored by the successor regime. The Americans have probably assured him as much.
Russian oil interests will play a major role in the exploitation of new Iraqi fields. This agreement assures Putin a place at the economic tale when time comes to divide the spoils.
Be Seeing You,
