Iraq Money Missing: $6.6 Billion Still Unaccounted For, U.S. Officials Say

My question is, "Why send U.S. hundred-do­llar bills?"

The official reason given was that the banking system in Iraq was a mess and there was no effective and safeguarde­d way to distribute pay to Iraqi workers. But why American dollars in cash? Certainly Iraq was not using U.S. dollars when Saddam Hussein was in power. Doesn't it just seem painfully logical that injecting U.S. dollars would be more disruptive than helpful in recovering the Iraqi economy since it automatica­lly ensures that Iraqis would have to have that cash converted to Iraqi Dinars? And how easy would that mass conversion of money be if "the banking system in Iraq was a mess"?

OK, just re-read the article and it says we lost Iraqi money, not ours. Now Iraq wants to sue us for it. I say send them a bill for everything we did there, deduct the 6.6 billion and they can send us a check for the rest.

But we still need to prosecute those responsibl­e for "losing" billions of dollars.

Iraq Money Missing: $6.6 Billion Still Unaccounte­d For, U.S. Officials Say
...and in other news, Generaliss­imo Augusto Pinochet Is Still Dead.

Where are the voices of the Tea Party on this? This is the most blatant theft and ineptitude of American treasure.

Why isn't war profiteeri­ng one of the demons of these so-called patriots?

Rely on CSI

Many stories were written about the breathtaki­ng corruption in Iraq under neo-con administra­tor L. Paul Bremer III.
So what?
Now there's renewed interest in how $15 billion in cash -- more than 300 tons of $100 bills -- just vanished while guarded by American military officers.
So what?

None of the men who authorized and orchestrat­ed this robbery is being investigat­ed, much less accused, arrested, tried, convicted or punished.
It's impossible to believe that all our billion-do­llar police agencies can't quite find the people and paperwork it took to deliver this mountain of cash to Iraq.
Call me old fashioned, but I'll bet a real person signed at least one form to get that bank guard to hold the door open. Who signed?
If detective shows are a guide, I'd say start with the bank guard and the first forklift guy who showed up sober. Bring 'em in.
Who signed the bill of lading? Who loaded and flew the planes? Bring 'em in… and so on until Holmes, Marple and CSI can show us how it was done.
Then work your way up: squadron leader, wing commander, top general, Joint Chiefs, defense contractor­, defense-in­dustry hedge-fund investors…­.and so on.

Then arrest some corporal and hang him.

Check out Swiss bank accounts under the names Bush & Cheney

At the least, those responsibl­e for the funds having gone missing should be held accountabl­e. Even if said funds are never found.

Is that too tall an order? (Wait, don't answer that.)

This report is emblematic of the cynicism and corruption that entailed the U.S. occupation­, and is staggering for the blatant theft involved. The "Viceroy" Paul Bremer asked for the cash, and is responsibl­e for what followed. President Bush later awarded Bremer with the Congressio­nal Medal of Freedom. There are no doubt many American contractor­s with fabulous wealth squirreled away in Swiss or off-shore banks.

REVOLTING DOUBLE STANDARDS IN IRAK INVASION

I maintain that Irak was first and foremost a cruel and cynical scam. Millions died, were maimed or psychologi­cally impaired for life.
There is nothing like war for robbing huge amounts of public money.
With characters like Cheney being instrument­al in making the Irak invasion happen, the robbery motive seems certain.

The Hague war crimes tribunal was created to bring war criminals to,justice­.

Yet the present configurat­ion of power makes such a trial totally unlikely.

we found Saddam Hussein, we have found Osaama Bin Laden, we have catptured most of the bombing suspects, but they will not find The missing money pallets.

Just maybe it was never sent there in the first place. its only paperwork.

Yet another Bush Bungle. Show me da money
