My friend every iraqi citizen will benifit from the wealth created by the oil through government services etc

also each family will receive a cash dispersment.... of a couple thousand dollars a quarter.....

Can you back this up with citations? And will these "cash dispersements" be ongoing or one time lump sum?

Mr. Pres... Bring our troops home!

You mean the war that was authorised by congress "both liberal and conservative" and the american people? By the way. I am one of the huge majority of active duty troops who want to see this war through to an reasonable end!
