all of iraq is irrigated !!
Something wrong Herr.
Watered ground goes for what 9 to 12 ?
Well I got to thinking today's news on Iraq.
Please check my math
We spent 1 Trillion dollars in Iraq
It is a country of 170,000 square miles
Give or take a little.
So, 170,000 x 640 =108800000 acres
1 trillion dollars
$1000000000000
1000000000000 ÷ 108800000
I think that equals. $ 9,191 per acre
(Cost of American military lives and blood
not included)
When viewed that way, kind of gets you
Doesn't it.
Just think about it for a while....then
Review some threads on what ground
Sold for.
I was shocked

Re: all of iraq is irrigated !!
Nobody wanted the top soil
That wasn't the idea
As for the money
What is the price of a ton of paper and some ink
Somebody just added the price of paper and ink to the charge acct
But hey?? if somebody will take the paper
What's the big deal
It's not like paying bills to grow corn
Different crop, different people paying the bill
Gotta get your head looking at this differently
It's that special charge acct that will never be paid
