George W. Bush, by executive proclamation, gave Iraq the right to export thousands of goods duty free to the United States. However, due to the poor state of its economy and the on-going warfare in its streets, it is anticipated that Iraq will have difficulty taking advantage of this generous tax break.
In other news: Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld admitted that much of Iraq is no longer under U.S. control; the Bush administration announced that free elections, which had been planned for January, would probably be delayed leaving the U.S. appointed government in place; and the 1,000th American was killed in Iraq today.
