Baghdad wants U.S. to pay $1 billion for damage to city

Baghdad wants U.S. to pay $1 billion for damage to city

(Reuters) - Iraq's capital wants the United States to apologize and pay $1 billion for the damage done to the city not by bombs but by blast walls and Humvees since the U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein.

The rest of the story is Here

The biggest problem here is that they'll probably get it, with an apology!!! Of course it wont end there either if it does turn into a pay day. We'll have demands for money coming out of the woodwork all of Iraq.

Maybe I'm just too cynical....

Wait until they get our bill for providing out-sourced protective and emergency services.
