In the last seven days, the Iraqi government made an estimated $8.9 million dollars profit off its sale of sweet crude to the US; naturally there were the usual admin fees we had to pay…

1. The lives of 19 American soldiers. Not that we care about the troops, they are now considered collateral damage when compared to the economy.

2. Pay the wages for the regular Iraqi military.

3. Pay the $10 per day per man fee we promised the civilian militia groups not to kill US troops; that the civilian militia group says the Iraqi government hasn't passed on to them.

4. Pay all the contractors.

5. Pay for all materials and handle all the logistics.
