Yeah, and in the mean time they're claiming Social Security is going broke and they can't continue to fund Medicaid. When I hear all the money they waste supporting terrorists and financing a foreign policy of intervention, and foreign aid, it makes my blood boil!!! Why do the American people support this crap when our tax dollars are going over seas? The American people are shooting themselves in the foot every time they agree with our representatives when they say they can't afford these beneficial programs. Can you imagine how 13 billion can be used here at home?

There is undeniable proof that the US bombed without Doctors Without Borders Hospital, and are now blaming Russia for bombing what 4 Hospitals without any proof? Sounds like the Elites are trying to have a p*ssing contest it's ridiculous.]

I'm just amazed that the Millitary hasn't taken over the Gov't and tossed them out on their chins by now. What i want to know is When 'Someone' Anyone is going to stand up and say ENOUGH is ENOUGH and take down the money lenders and make America Great again.

What does the US do with the Iraq Dinars once it has them?
Seeing how this is the conversion: 1 dinar : .00084 dollar Probably wipe their asses with them. And every # stained one of them flushed down the drain will increase the value by .0000001%.

You all do understand these are dollars being sold for Iraqi Dinars right. The US sells Dollars in almost every country as nations, investors and people want to exchange their local money for the most stable currency on Earth. In some cases to save but, in most cases for trade because everybody takes dollars. In this case the US became suspicious because Iraqis were buying more dollars than they thought they should be. As it turned out the Iraqis are just hoarding them.
The US feared ISIS was buying up dollars because it would be easier to trade with. So this is not funding ISIS, this is not funding anybody. Money is not disappearing it is being exchanged. ISIS has never needed any outside funding because it generates its own income from taxes, oil sales (although US airstrikes have damaged this revenue) and out right theft of banks and businesses.
All those Russian and Chinese made weapons the ISIS uses needs a constant source of ammunition, using Iraqi Dinars or trading for oil made buying that ammo more complicated and expensive. The Russians/China sell to an arms dealer who then sells to ISIS. With Dollars ISIS could right to the Russians or China because with Dollars you could be anybody buying and you can get a much better deal. That is something the US wants to avoid.
The article in the OP was so bad it did not even understand what it was trying to report.

I have no idea, I would assume they do the same thing do with money that is exchanged for dollars anywhere. I would guess it has to make it way back to its home county.
