Our friend 2Slick has an interesting post about his involvment in giving out millions to the Iraqi people. It explains it and has an excerpt from a book coming out Eric T. Holmes that quotes 2Slick.

In the book Mr. Holmes describes the 101st Infantry Division "giving project" (my personal name for it):

"In the course of combat operations and searching for weapon caches the 101st came across large amounts of Ba’athist cash. They immediately turned right around and spent the money in the local economy for humanitarian efforts. During 2003 they seized and spent $178 million. Other units are now continuing the program."

"Captain 2Slick served with the 101st in Mosul during the first year of the war. He’s a Black Hawk pilot by trade, who personally spent $2.7 million in support of higher education in Mosul. After serving with his unit in Iraq, 2Slick is now serving in Kuwait. “I honestly believe that we are losing the information campaign here. As soldiers fighting this war, we have an obligation to get the word out about what's really going on over here.”
