i've heard this twice now. first on captain dale dye's radio show this last weekend and then last night on john ziegler's radio show on kfi am 640 here in so cal. apparently, we are subsidizing the fuel being purchased by iraqi citizens. wtf? the story is that iraq cannot refine it's own gasoline so we pay about $1.50 per gallon from other countries and ship it into iraq where we charge a few pennies per gallon. those of us using high test would ony pay a dollar or two per fill up. now this is just rediculous. whats worse is that supposedly the iraqis are claiming they will be "very upset" should the price go up. so let just get this straight:
-we are infidels
-we are invaders
-we help deliver power, water, electricity, fuel, ect at our expense and they think that they are due this!?
-and we are supposed to leave while we do this.
fine. but when we go i say that we take all of our goodies with us. let them be mad.

The whole Iraq thing was a big mistake, it has done nothing but put our country deeper into debt, and made us even more hated all over the globe.
It is sad 43 million American taxpaying citizens dont have health care, but people in Iraq who do nothing for us have health care at our expense.

I think the education problem in this country is a far more prevalent issue...

Average income in Iraq - $1,600 Average income in the U.S. - $37,800 That's why it costs them a lot less to fill up. I probably spend 1,600 in one year on gas. Too bad they're getting affordable prices at our expense.

Haha. Very nice. 10 gallons a week is 520 a year. At $2.00/gal that's $1040 per year. So yeah they need cheaper prices, but 5 cents is crazy. $26 dollars a year??

And really, how much gas does it take to drive a car to blow it up at a market. Can we leave Iraq yet?
