<snip>WASHINGTON - The U.S. occupation authority in Iraq was unable to keep track of nearly $9 billion it transferred to government ministries, which lacked financial controls, security, communications and adequate staff, an inspector general has found.

The U.S. officials relied on Iraqi audit agencies to account for the funds but those offices were not even functioning when the funds were transferred between October 2003 and June 2004, according to an audit by a special U.S. inspector general.<snip>

1. They should check out H&B contractor's pockets

or better yet look into the VP's pockets, I'll bet they'll find it there.

2. Bartcop.com has been writing about this for months

if not years. The MSM finally heard about it, (even though it was printed at the bottom of page 18.)
Remind me again how the Bloggers are just conspiracy nuts.
We kill 100,000, destroy their country, steal their oil, set up an election where the turnout was substantial only to vote for ethnic and religious hatred....and the MSM calls it a huge victory!

3. isn't nice how they just toss around our tax dollars by the billions

obviously lining someone's pockets, and still claim the 'fiscal responsibility' bucky beaver badge?

Isn't that just the cutest thing ever? :eyes: :grr:

4. We, the taxpayers, will never know where the money went.

There will be no investigation.
