Yeah, but Australia had 22%, and they've deployed troops there.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

We buy 46% of Iraq's exports; France buys 9%. So the bigger money trail leads to us, and we put a lot more money into Iraq's economy than the French (by the same document used above.) Your point is?

I wonder about the following,

why the french flipfloped (I think money)

in terms of the french economy, how much money is riding on iraq vs the same for the us ? Ok all you brains out there, lets figure it out.

Your numbers make more sense.

With Son of a Horseshit hanging around, he's only going to interrupt our supplies coming in. And since Iraq imports mostly from the French, I'm sure the French would like to keep their gross exports up.

But I still can't figure out the Australians though.

Well we need to sell our wheat somewhere. The US keeps up with its farm subsidies and persists in selling the subsidised wheat at dumping prices in our market. Same with lamb.
