Well the question really is whether is selling the buildings and equipment to the Iraqi gov is more cost effective than taking it back to the States. No doubt somebody will make a killing with the profits.

Well, that's a new one for Me! I kind of like it!
I guess I am not as well read as I should be? Or is that a KAZVorpalism?
Welcome to the forums.

It's a term I coined, but surely any responsible person needs to keep up on my wisdom...

Just a question I would like to ask ;

What is it with all this 'gate' stuff, what do you mean when ou say gate as in profli-gate ?

We hear it so often from the US, but am confused as to what it means and why you use it.

When Nixon's lackeys broke into the watergate hotel, its name became synonymous with scandal. Since it sounds like a compound word, people started putting -gate on the end of other scandals. This was aggravated by the whitewater scandal, which lent itself so easily to being whitewatergate.
