The business world is an amusing place. I just came across the attached article that details how much oil has been imported into the US in the last few months from Iraq.
I will let you read the article for yourself, but here is a teaser fact. In January alone, US companies sent nearly $600 million directly to Iraq.
That would buy a heck of a lot of food.
