what we should have done is confiscated every darn US dollar
that we found in Iraq when we invaded the damn place , and used that money to pay for the war initially.

I am sick of hearing how America cannot ‘afford ‘ to pay for
this fight , when every damn country on the planet is awash in our currency.....

Especially our enemies ! We should invade and take it all .

Yeah, that's the spirit. Don't hold back. Tell us what you really think.

Uhhh . . out of curiousity, how much money -- er, American currency -- would you hope to confiscate from the various nations now holding it?

And, given the declining value of the dollar vs. other currencies, would you expect adding those confiscated bills (I'm using this term figuratively, as we both know most of the dollars exist only as bookkeeping entries in a computer somewhere) to the domestic money supply would make the dollar stronger maybe? Like when all those counterfeit yen we sent to Japan during WWII helped Japan balance their international trade?

Just curious.
