Japan approves $100 million loan for Iraq

This smells look after Japan first then the Asian region.

What do you think Iraq will do with the money? Don't assume that it comes with no strings attached, Japan doesn't work that way. A greater part of the money will be used to buy tools, equipment, material, and consultants from Japan Inc.

Japan's humanitarian programs are more about corporate welfare than foreign aid. Iraq will benefit, as will Japan Inc, all at a cost of $100 million to Japan's taxpayers.

Aaaaaaaaand more of my hard earn taxes going over seas and away from the needy here in Japan.

This is why, despite their huge recent losses on commodities, you'll be hard pressed to see a sense of crisis in the major trading companies.

Ginza tonight again, boys!

No not very smart but a total ignorance of the Unemployed Japanese that desperately need Jobs to support their Famlies

And next week Isis come back and take a few cities again, at least put in money before situation stabilizes

@Ron:unemployment in Japan? When it began? A little while ago,, Japan was complaining it does Lt have enough workers,

Btw, this is not first time Japan loans to Iraq. Japan want to secret its natural resource.

toshiko According to a Japanese friend of mine when you're importing foreign workers you are displacing those Japanese that earn higher wages .than those from poorer countries work for less and longer hours .so they can support families at home .
