[ailsagirl]

the $9 billion missing from the Coalition Provisional Authority.

I can't believe that Congress refuses to investigate this.

MSNBC, CNN, and even FAUX news!!

What is the DEAL????? No one in this country CARES??
Again, where's the outrage????

[tk2kewl]

1. is it 8 or 9?

[aden_nak]

2. I heard it was $8.8 billion.

If they really don't care, could I have $8.8 billion also?

[tex-wyo-dem]

3. Who knows how many congressmen and others in government...

are complicit in this pillage (both R & D)...

There inaction might be telling.

[freesqueeze]

4. Just think...

For just a fraction of one of those billions, they could have bought lunch with George W.

5. kick

I'm kicking this because it's on tonight

[eleny]

6. and it takes going on letterman to get the word out

welcome to the alternative universe.

[indepat]

7. Yawn, in a war whose cost might ultimately exceed $1 trillion, $8 or $9

billion is mere chicken feed. Ho hum. But whatever the ultimate cost, it is such a small price to pay to be made safe by the neocons.

[90-percent]

8. wasted taxpayer money

Wasn't it ho-hum mode when the pentagon revealed it cant account for over ONE TRILLION DOLLARS???????

Are their accountants always six decimal places off when they balance their books?

-85%

9. He was great!

He got lots of applause and laughter for his remarks.:patriot:

[ailsagirl]

10. He really did get a lot of applause... that was very encouraging

And Letterman appeared to be agreeing with Al
(like, what's not to agree with?)
