Showing numbers and saying it benefits the Iraqi economy make you a fraud. It's not helping the people, you fucking moron. It's making a small percentage rich. Here's an article that describes how low oil prices are affecting the Iraqi economy.

If something isn't helping you, then losing it can't hurt you. Rather than supporting your stupid argument, you just refuted it. Nice job shooting yourself in the foot again, you "motherfucking idiot"!
Take away their oil revenues and you take away 95% of the funding for the Iraqi national budget. Then they would have to raise taxes to pay for everything. How would that benefit the Iraqi economy or the Iraqi people?
And speaking of not helping the people - why don't you compare the Iraqi economy today to what it looked like under Saddam Hussein, who was siphoning billions in oil money earmarked for humanitarian needs under the UN embargo and using it to build dozens of huge luxury palaces around the country for himself and his charming sons, Uday and Qusay? You weren't bothered by that obscenity, were you dipshit?
I'm bored with handing you your ass, sewer rat. If you know anyone who can debate intelligently, bring them on. It really doesn't do anything for me to keep bitch-slapping the 2016 DIPSHIT OF THE YEAR. Nothing personal, of course.
