In case you haven't noticed, we've linked another Iraqi blog over on the roll there. Today, I find Iraq, the Model to be making a very interesting argument against the "no blood for oil, invading Iraq for conquest and treasure" crowd, one so simple and straightforward I find it surprisingly difficult to argue against:

Note: The author's English is quite good, but it is a second language. Turn your grammar filters on.

Have read some statistics about the economy of the USA and I found that the (GDP) of America is something around (11,000 billion) dollars, while that of Iraq is about (18 billion) dollars (regarding the current rate of oil export), which means that the (GDP) of USA = 611 times the (GDP) of Iraq. Another interesting result is that America can make that (18) billions in only 14 hours!. Everyone knows that the American forces need about (4 billion) dollars/month for their supplies, operations and reconstruction work. I find it so naive for someone to think that the USA is spending 4 billions a month to "steal" 1,5 billions. The USA has already spent (or assigned) over 200 billion dollars, which requires the Americans to wait for over 10 years to get their money back. What a great investment!!!

Again, words from an Iraqi source (in this case, two dentists and a future pediatrician), so don't go acusing me of cheerleading again!
