"Son, daddy needs some cash for the hard times to come. Why don't you go to the bank and get me one billion dollars."
How do you handle that? Any idea how much space you need to transport that? Can I take the Porsche to get it, Should I take the van or maybe get a big truck or multiple trucks even? These are difficult times and difficult choices must be made in a split second. On TV a million usually fits inside a briefcase, so a billion would be like a thousand briefcases then right? Ok, so lets say I take the truck and go downtown to the bank:
Clerk: "Number 374"
Me:" That would be me"
Clerk: "Hi there mr. Qusay, what can i help you with today?"
Me: "I'd like to make a withdrawal of one billion dollars"
Clerk: "How would you like that Sir?"
Me: "Errr. Well 7.500.000 bills of a hundred dollars, 2.000.000 twenty dollar bills ..... aaaaaannd lets see ... 500.000 ten dollar bills then, that should do it I think."
Clerk:" Just a moment Sir"
4 hours later...
Clerk:"We put it all in your truck Sir, good luck with that"
Then what? Do you trust the clerk? I mean, maybe he just took a million, who will know? He is looking at you with an overly friendly smile, so the bastard must hiding something. the question is, where did he put it? Not in his pocket of course, that would never fit. Counting the money sure as hell isn't an option. No choice then but to shoot the bastard, that will at least take that stupid smile of his damn face...
So now we have a truckload of dollars and we need a place to hide. A place where you can buy weapons, re-establish your political influence, anything really if you have the dollars. After all, dollars is all we have left and we have plenty off 'em. So what place would that be then? Well we all know where everything is for sale for the right amount off dollars. Tha land off ultimate kapitalism and oportunity, the land of the filthy rich and shameless. We will go to the USA!!!
I'm not doubting the location of Saddam for a second. He's in texas. Qusay and him became members of the National Riffle Association of course, wich will protect their rights to keep pretty much every damn weapon they wish. No more weapons inspectors, no more UN, no more sanctions. The US can have Iraq and install an all american government for all they care. They'll just buy the next election and own Iraq AND the US at the same time. I just wish I could see the look on Bush' face when he finds out why he lost his re-election.
