Its better than being dead....

Following violent protests by jobless former soldiers last year, the U.S.-led administration agreed to pay pensions to some ex-officers. Azzawi said he gets 100,000 Iraqi dinars a month -- about $75. But gone are the bonuses and cars that Saddam provided to ensure loyalty from the military.

WTF? What for!

Well, sh*t, 75 bucks a month ought to keep 'em happy!

Why'd we have to make the currency so ridiculous. 100,000 dinars = $75. Are high numbers like 100,000 really necessary??

But yea $75 a month; prett kick-ass right there.....
