The scheme is so transparently stupid that only someone as simple as the Chimp would fall for it. Wonder how much they've made so far?

You can buy 1 million Iraqi Dinar from these folks for the low low price of $1,060.00 American! My oh my. The thing is, of course, that at the current exchange rate you could buy 1 Million Dinar on the open market for just $681 American. But then again, you'd have to be able to do some math....lol

1. Worthless! IMHO
The US/Iraq will print it's own money and the old Dinar will be worthless, that's just my humble opinion. There's too much Dinar out there to start a fresh new democratic society! :-)

3. Why not start our own "Bet on Iraq" alongside Operation Yellow Elephant
If you won't go to Iraq and fight, or send your army-age kids to fight, then why not put some money down that says you believe Bush's policies will succeed.

We can donate all the money to Amnesty International or something.
