What happened to the $4 billion? |
|
Bremer promised that the accounting of the missing $4b would soon be posted up on the CPA website. Has he kept this promise? I don't see anything about it there (www.cpa-iraq.org).
Recap of the Christian Aid report:
(According to the report press release, the "Christian Aid investigation" "uncovered" that "A staggering US$4 billion in oil revenues and other Iraqi funds earmarked for the reconstruction of the country has disappeared into opaque bank accounts administered by the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA), the US-controlled body that rules Iraq. By the end of the year, if nothing changes in the way this cash is accounted for, that figure will double.)

1. Ahhh, don't worry about that measly $4,000,000,000 |
|
The $87,000,000,000 will cover that nicely. There is more where that came from also. So move along, it's already covered.

Damn, where did I put that $4 billion check? It's gotta be here somewhere.

2. Into the pockets of Busheviks allies, Capos and Buttons, mostly |
|
The level of theft and fraud and lies currently going on in the Empire is probably the greatest since the 1890s (back in the Days of the Old Republic).
Perhaps all the way back to the US Grant regime in the 1870s...

4. Where is that Christian Aid report? |
|
Looked on the link and didn’t see anything about it.
I suppose that is on a different site, correct? Do you have a link and/or more info?
Thanks Kelley
