Saddam's $750K in US $100 bills - Is there a corresponding "Ken Lay"
event or expenditure by Enron which rivals, if not surpasses this amount?

My joke would be that the $750K was found along with K.L.'s driver's license because it all was in K.L.'s wallet, but that wouldn't be too realistic.

Wasn't there some sort of party that cost half a million dollars, and the host(s) said "it's all on the - - - 's dime!"?

Which company would this amount of money be likened to?

1. I think it was Enron that had that party. Tyco had a 2 million dollar
party.

... so, I say it was planted ...

dang, there's a lot of moola out there just floating around ... trillions missing from the Pentagon alone ,,,

... remember the stacks of money found last Spring? and the gold? where are all those goodies ... did all the artifacts get returned or did they escape at the border check?

Anything to declare?

No, just some old jars and stuff.

OK

10. US dollars are semi-legit currency in Iraq
as in a lot of places around the world. That may come to an end if Bush*s economic policies keep causing devaluation of US dollar.

7. And would it fit in the hole with him?
I think it was money given to the Kurds by CIA to keep Saddam, but the U.S. military stormed in and took it. :tinfoilhat:

8. Look, Let's Get This Right
Every dime Sadam came to him from oil dealings. And if you deal in oil who, pray tell, to you deal with? Oil Companys, that's who. Now, name the players in the oil business who have that kind of money to sink into a country that didn't actually produce an awful lot of oil? Can you say Exxon, BP, Shell, Chevron? That is where Sadam's money came from, make no mistake about that. Now, how many of those are "American" companys?
