THIS JUST IN....where's the $$$?
Occasionally, I confess, I do read local newspapers for a perspective on what Americans are being fed. So the following article must be reviewed with scrutiny, although I have no reason to doubt this...
U.S. civilian authorities in Baghdad failed to keep tract of, get this, $1,000,000,000 (that's one billion dollars) in Iraqi money spent for reconstruction projects and can't produce records to show what services and products, if any, were paid for. The former CPA (that's the US oligarchy, in power before the "transfer" to the Iraqui people) paid nearly $200,000 for police trucks without confirming whether they were delivered, and they don't know where the vehicles are!! Neither are there any records to justify the $24.7 million to replace Iraqi currency that had Suddami's portrait. All excused by CPA Inspector General Stuart W. Bowen Jr., who is not surprised about the discrepencies given the dangers of work. I would bet somebody knows where the money is, eh?
