I read an article in Time where some stuck-up "intellectual" was talking about how this war is not for oil/money. I just wanted to share this piece of news.
quoted from cnn.com
----
WASHINGTON (CNN) - The U.S. Treasury Department announced Thursday the federal government will seize $1.4 billion in Iraqi assets frozen since the first Gulf War, and use the money for humanitarian aid and reconstruction in Iraq.
***
A senior Treasury official said there is believed to be at least $6 billion dollars worldwide and possibly twice that amount in "corrupted funds" -- including money from "smuggled oil" -- that may be traceable.

i, for one, don't believe this money is going anywhere close to iraq. well, maybe as bombs but not as aid
