Bouncer thats a bit inacurate...

I posted this in another thread and will repeat it...

From the CIA World factbook 2002 for Iraq:

Exports: $13 billion f.o.b. (2002 est.)
Exports - commodities: crude oil
Exports - partners: US 40.9%, Canada 8.2%, France 8.2%, Jordan 7.5%, Netherlands 6.4%, Italy 5.4%, Morocco 4.7%, Spain 4.4% (2002)

Imports: $7.8 billion f.o.b. (2002 est.)
Imports - commodities: food, medicine, manufactures
Imports - partners: Jordan 11%, France 8.8%, China 8.4%, Germany 7.6%, Russia 7.3%, Australia 7.2%, Vietnam 6.6%, Italy 6.4%, Japan 5.6% (2002)


Over 40% of Iraq exports (oil...) went to the US... I'd say they got their fair share...
