“A BBC investigation estimates that around $23bn (£11.75bn) may have been lost, stolen or just not properly accounted for in Iraq.” What’s worse, that the federal government is so tight-fisted when it comes to domestic infrastructure and recovery projects while it misplaces this much money in foreign boondoggles or that 1£ is $1.96?
Never fear. My hero, Henry Waxman, is on the case. “It may well turn out to be the largest war profiteering in history.” In Where Did All The Cash Go In Iraq?, Waxman asks, “Who in their right mind would send 360 tons of cash into a war zone?”*
