Did I read this wrong? We sent money, because they did not have a banking system or a way to account where all of their OIL money went? Please tell me I'm wrong!!

You are not wrong my dear, the US did indeed send 360 tons of money totalling $12 Billion. Now they are not quite sure where all the money went to. "Viceroy" Paul Bremer claimed that the money went to pay the civil servants there who had not been paid prior to the invasion. This explanation does not quite explain where all the money went. There had been stories that money was stolen by corrupt officials, that we chose, by the car trunk load. what scares me is that this missing money might be what is being used to buy arms to kill our troops.

This may help explain things:
"After the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the United States took control of all of the Iraqi government’s bank accounts, including the income from oil sales. The United Nations approved the financial takeover, and President Bush vowed to spend Iraq’s money wisely. But now critics are raising serious questions about how well the United States handled billions of dollars in Iraqi oil funds."

i recognize what you advise, it drives me loopy that Bush thinks the U. S. has an limitless monetary company account. yet, the U. S. has led to extremely some the topic matters now occurring in Iraq. even although Saddam turned right into a merciless and evil dictator, he had the country lower than administration and there have been no longer a gaggle of terrorists killing human beings and operating suicide missions each day. Iraq become no longer in charge for 9/11 and we ought to continually no longer have made their u . s . an section to strive against the terrorists who hate the U. S.. All that being stated, we settle on to get out of there, yet we settle on to leave the Iraqis a strong position to stay (a minimum of to the point of stability previously we invaded).

We sent money so their government wouldn't collapse. They had no money to pay to government employees. However, sending cash in bags - losing some on the way - what a mess!!!
Makes me want to pay income taxes even less (if it's possible to want to pay them less)...
