How much for a can of Coke ?

You know, we use to make fun of the USSR about some of their problems. They use to have trains loaded in one city and during the trip 50% of the shipment disappeared. Now look who's getting mad fun of. We are so corrupt. Remember the day before 9/11 Cheney said 2.1 Trillion missing from the Defense Department. It is so sad, I just want to put my foot so far up Washington's ass.

You are right, I remember this story. One of the really bad things was that very little of the coke cans actually made it Iraq. The bills came in but the coke never got there.

You really couldn't talk about it back then because if you did you were labeled a terrorist and an America hater for questioning the Government's actions during wartime. Remember what they did to the Dixie Chicks? Now that Cheney/Bush are out it is alright to question the Government during wartime.

When I was in Iraq (2005), all of the coke I ever saw(and I think Pepsi products too), was produced in one or another middle eastern country (Turkey?). They all had arabic writing on them, and If I remember right were only 10 ounces-as oppossed to the 12oz. in the US- and yes, they did taste a little diffrent, but not horriable. Actually, I really did perfer those foriegn cokes to the US ones, I liked the taste!

Maybe this is to get people to wake and STOP drinking coke in the first place.

Its pure acid and syrup. Who actually enjoys poisoning their precious bodies?

I gave that up longgg ago, as soon as I realized what it actually does. Do a little research, and then THANK them for raising the prices and saving a few lives.

I sincerely doubt $45 in shipping per case of 30 cans is to prevent soldiers from drinking coke. That logic is absurd.

To answer your question, I do. I LOVE driking a cold Coca Cola. Every person dies in the end. It's the ride that counds.

Its not the soldiers that are paying for it, the tax payer is.

I'm sure if you watc the film then you will see that the coke scam is small fries to all the other scams
