Who can answer these Questions? ......
1. How much 'unmetered' oil has been pumped out of Iraq since we invaded? And who sold it and where did the money go?

2. Once the US realized that 'billions' were missing and unaccounted for, why didn't Congress require accurate accounting before approving all future funding?

3. If Rumsfeld 'knew' about the torture and abuse in Abu Graib Prison before testifying under oath before Congress that he did not know, why is he not being referred for prosecution for lying to Congress? And why does Rumsfeld still maintain an office at the Pentagon if he has resigned?

4. If the US troops are giving guns and arms to the Sunnis in Iraq for the avowed purpose of fighting Al Qaeda, how can we be sure those arms will not be used against our troops? And how can we distinguish the Sunnis from the Shiites unless they tell us which they are?

Just a few questions that deserve answers.

1. first and foremost-- congress is FULLY complicit in crimes against humanity...
...in Iraq. Most congressional leaders seem to share the essential PNAC objectives of U.S. hegemony in the middle east, military/industrial complex control of foreign policy, imperialist expansionism, and so on.

3. Question 4, part B.

How do you distinguish between Sunnis doing their thing, and Al-Qaeda? Since we're apparently trying to fund Sunni groups against Al-Qaeda.

4. I'll take a stab at it.

1) That's all for Cheney to know and not for you to find out. And he's enjoying every penny.

2) They were told to shut up and sit down or they'd end up in Gitmo.

3) See #2. Rummy's special office is there to make it clear they're not kidding.

4) Do you mistake w's regime for people who give a shit? The troops are there to serve Cheney, nothing more.

8. 1. Approx 15 million dollars worth a month
2. Republican led Congress - do you expect them to oust the inequities of their cronies?
3. Beats me. He is guilty. The office is for some BS titled job he is supposedly doing now.
4. We can't. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

9. Number 3 is a non-starter.
There is no penalty for lying to Congress. Unless you're a Democratic president and there's a Republican Congress. And then, the Republican have the cojones to prosecute if you lie about your age.

10. Why an office for these months to sort his papers, but said "I don’t keep notes about what I do.”
Said to congress in response to when and what he knew of Abu Graib.
