Report: Most of $1.2 billion to train Iraqi police unaccounted for

CNN) -- The U.S. State Department is unable to account for most of $1.2 billion in funding that it gave to DynCorp International to train Iraqi police, a government report said Tuesday.

The bottom line is that State can't account for where it went," said Glenn D. Furbish, who was involved in putting together the 20-page report for the special inspector general for Iraq reconstruction (SIGIR).

Well then, let's just give the Administration 46 Billion dollars more! We really need to fund the troops. :sarcasm:
