Treasure bunkers in Iraq

[Kentucky Kache]

Did anyone see the story of the American soldiers who found several hundred million dollars in two bunkers in Iraq? It was American money and some of the soldiers were in trouble for trying to play hide and keep. What would you do?

If it was then,and I was them,,, Think I would strike a deal with my fellow soldiers.....Call it hazardous duty pay.......and mail a good chunk of it to the families of buds that didn't make it............................What..................... like my Commander In Chief Is going to Volunteer ? to give me a RAISE Heck he would just as soon cut my G.I. Bill,,and raise my retirement age limit to 35 Y.O.S... I think soldiers lives are not His highest priority.........................................Just MY 2 Cents

Wasn't there a movie about that...3 Kings with George Clooney?

The movie was similar, but this was more recent.

if it was me i would stash as much as i could in a new hiding spot and then return in a few years after I'm out of the army and all its restrictions, i wouldn't c any reason to report the money as having ever even been found.

Take a look at the pictures I found of soldieres in Iraq finding treasure.

I know these pics have been around for a while but they tell a story and it is not about gold but something else that is gold in color - BRASS! See the weights of metal in this info:

Brass/ Pounds per Cubic Foot = 524-556

"The lb/gal column is used for comparison to a gallon of milk, which weights about 8.4 lb (it's mostly water). If that milk were changed to aluminum, it would weigh about 22.5 lb. If it were changed to gold, it would weigh about 161 lb (19 gallons of water)! Did you notice that copper is heavier than iron? A cubic foot of iron is 491 lb. A cubic foot of copper is 559 lb. Silver is even heavier than copper, at 655 lb for a cubic foot. Gold is really heavy at 1206 lb for a cubic foot. When you see a movie of thieves carrying bars of gold, you know they are faking it!"

That much gold in a truck would have flattened the tires and broke the axles if it really were gold. The guy holding the golden bar is hardly strained if you look at the way he is holding it. If it were even 75% gold your still talking a 100+ pound bar. I can't locate the source but I do remember an article that came out later and stated it was brass. I'll see if I can locate it and post back.
