Shit, Move Me To The Green Zone
The handouts by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and a handful of other top officials are authorized - as long as each goes no higher than about $8,000, and the same people don't get them twice. Aides say they are meant merely to ease the pain a bit, and are motivated by a belief that better conditions will lead to more security.
The cash handouts are just one small - if eye-catching - part of a major investment push this summer by Iraq's government. The aim is to rebuild basic services and jumpstart Iraq's damaged economy by quickly distributing as much of the country's glut of oil revenue as possible.
Actually, this is a good move-however, it's only going to buy time. Cash dries up, the riots and the bombings continue.
