Just wondering....have the billions missing in Iraq ever been found?

[young_at_heart]

I remember somewhere around 9 billion, but I'm not sure. No one seems to talk of this anymore but that's a lot of money to just go "missing"!

1. It's probably stored away safely in Swiss bank accounts ...

... under names like 'Cheney' and 'Halliburton'.

8. Swiss Bank Accounts?? Nonsense!!

Anybody who's anybody puts their money in the Cayman Islands nowadays.

4. Considering that there were no true auditors like

Bonatine Greenhouse at the time this money went missing...the money is gone...the administration fired or demoted all of the civilian auditors who could have kept this in check....

6. They can't apply 1st world accounting standards in a 3rd world economy...?

Have you heard that one?

Here's an idea.

Get a piece of paper. You know, the kind they had in ancient egypt.

And a pencil or maybe a pen, but hey, it's a third world economy, so use a pencil. That's OK.

Whoever is giving the money out, put his name on the top of the piece of paper. Have him sign it.

Have I lost you in your "third world" accounting yet?

On the paper, write a name, a date, and an amount. Have the person getting the money, "mark" (I know that they don't know how to write in these 3rd world countries) next to their name and the money they're receiving.

Then, we can go back and track down two or three of these names and ask them if they got their money, or maybe just compare their signatures...

If it doesn't foot, start asking tough questions to the guy whose name appears on the top...

You know, having studied accounting BEFORE PERSONAL COMPUTERS, this bullshit "excuse" really pissed me off...

9. I think they knew where the $9 Billion was all along. They just "forgot"

Donald Rumsfeld's $9 Billion Slush Fund from Slate, October 10, 2003.

10. Isn't there a lawsuit?

The MSM has forgotten all about it, but I'll bet Paul Bremer is involved.
