the US and UK have frozen Iraqi government interests, and deported those people that were caring for them.  The assets were not confiscated, they were frozen to be returned to the Gov't after Iraq has been liberated.

I just saw Tony Blair announce it on TV, not on the .net.

I would assume that it was Iraqi business dealings in those countries that they wanted to keep for Iraq, not siphoned off by those people running them.

it's saddam's money, 1.7 billion , thats billion with a B, being king of baghdad must pay good.

if i had 1.7 billion , i'd be in the south of france or on my own island , not in a bunker in baghdad.

megalomania is a terrible thing.

The 1.7 Billion was Iraqi Govt Funds in US Banks. Those funds were frozen in 1991 as part of the Surrender Terms.
