3. could also be US gov. trying to trap people into becoming"ties"to

Iraqi insurgents.?

4. Yeah, I was thinking something along those lines...

but even more interesting, I was wondering how this guy has the stash when our soldiers have it...
I guess he's saying he stole it after he killed the driver...or something like that.
DHS should trace this guys e-mail so they can find him...

5. Send that picture to the army with a complaint

It could be a clue to an attepted fraud.

But then again, since when do they investigate fraud in Iraq?

6. Someone went to the Nigerian School of EMail Scams!!!!

That is funny as hell!! It's the same shit, different day!

7. This is, like the OP stated, a new twist on an old hoax...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance_fee_fraud

It's just the same old scam with a photo (probably public domain as well) to lure the stupid into thinking said cash exists.

It's not an attempt by the US government to link innocent citizens with insurgents in Iraq. Why would they even bother??

If they wanna say someone has ties to terrorists, they'll do just that. They don't need some half-baked scheme to help them.
