We Painted All Those Schools Right?

Not especially shocked that no one has any idea what we did with all the money, but it does remind me of that multi-year period where it seemed that we invaded Iraq in order to free Iraqi schoolchildren from the tyranny of peeling paint.

..............

Department of Defense can’t account for 96 percent of money administered in Iraq reconstruction fund.

1. I'm wondering why they had any control of 'Iraqi oil money'

in the first place? Ruin a country and millions of lives, use their own money to pay for reconstruction. All that new denationalized oil ....... may the warmongers swim in it in hell.

3. No investigation from this Justice Dept. either

Tacit approval, or just keepin' the ol' powder dry?

4. It's almost shocking that they can account for 4% of the money.

Nobody in power is willing to get anywhere near this robbery.
