Operation Golden Shower

The wisdom of the blogosphere yet again raises its very well-groomed head. At last, an Iraq exit strategy that everyone can love. DarkSyde's diary at Daily Kos:

Operation: Golden Shower, which doesn't get a single person killed. Instead of spending 100 billion for the privilege of being shot at and hated, we pull every GI out of Iraq except for pilots and crew of a small fleet of cheap propellor driven planes.

The Plan: Since Baghdad is the key to Iraq, all we have to really worry about is getting the Iraqi's in Baghdad to 'like us'. So every day we take about twenty planes and circle all over Baghdad with sacks of money and throw it out the window uniformly. We can use mostly one dollar bills, because that's enough for an Iraqi to live on for a few days, but mix in a few tens or twenties or even hundreds, just to add some excitement and fun. We can make it more fun by using the Cracker Jack marketing method of including some prizes with the money. Something like "This coupon entitles the bearer to a new US manufactured SUV or a four year degree at a major US University courtesy of the American Taxpayer."

Net dollar savings and no loss of life. Brilliant!
