moochpuppy Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Over $1.2 billion already found U.S. Soldiers trying to stop looting in Baghdad ran into a huge cache of cash - more than $600 million in $100 dollar bills hidden behind a false wall. The Los Angeles Times reported last week that the 3rd Infantry found $656 million in a Tigris River neighborhood where senior Baath party and Republican Guard officials lived.

southsider2k5 Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 I have read #'s that said Hussein has mad $6-8 billion off of the oil that was supposed to be feeding his people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowerCaseRepublican Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 A lot of people knew that Saddam had money. How was it that he was building the presidential palaces? The anti-sanctions movement knew that Saddam was using the Oil for Food cash to make himself rich...that's why they wanted the sanctions dropped so it would be easier for humanitarian organizations like Voices in the Wilderness to come in and give food away (Right now as it stands, if a person goes to Iraq and gives the hungry children food, they can be prosecuted and face a possible 12 year prison sentence.)
