As price for Iraq war nears 1/2 TRILLION dollars, remember MISSING money!
Edited on Wed Dec-14-05 02:56 PM by jackstraw45
From May 2003 until June 2004, over 9 BILLION dollars was just plain MISSING (stolen).

Has anyone been fired? Has ANY of the $9,000,000,000 been FOUND?

1. Is this about the refusal to help poor families cope with heating bills
by upping their food stamp allotment?

Listen we know they can't afford both food AND heat, but dammit the Pentagon NEEDS that money!

Terra terra terra!

Did that help? Will you please do like the good little sheeple and stop thinking about that lost money... please?!

2. But this is in addition to the $?B in US cash that went missing, right?
Wasn't there $1.2B in US $100 bills that was dropped off to individuals in northern Iraq? Now nobody can remember who they gave the bales of money to. I seem to recall a DU message string on that.

3. Probably...
The war profiteering and outright STEALING from the American taxpayer, fueled by this administration, is breathtaking.
