If we are not loaning Iraq the money, but merely allocating and directing rebuilding out of our resourses....who gets the money?

Since you insist: what doesn't go to military payrolls goes to defense contractors, the D.C. parasite morass and bribes to overseas politicians, thugs and potentates both massive and petty.

It's not a hard question to answer.

Oh no, the money goes right back to USA business. And Bush is not going to let the French or Germans in at all.

Kind of funny, huh, that we take from the government and give to business.

I love it, actually.
