PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS You pro-war maggots can Bet on Iraq. Come on, I dare ya...

Also of note to those of you wondering whether Iraq really is a US colony: there's no longer any doubt. Iraq "will be allowed to open a deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which will earn it millions of dollars in vital interest income, a top US Treasury official has said."

Let me guess (and this really is a guess since I've not investigated the issue): Iraq's legal tender laws are formulated such that it's beneficial to use dinars in daily transactions and to store US dollars away?
