So is the twelve billion dollar heist the largest in history or what?

Twelve billion dollars in untraceable hundred dollar bills just up and vanishes. No one knows anything. Blame it on the Iraqis. They have a poor bookkeeping system,, Ya sure......Largest Heist in American History and no one even realizes it...These guys are good....

And Americans don't really seem to care all that much.

8. now, let's get it right.

Only 9 billion of that 12 billion vanished without a trace. They sorta think they know were the other 3 billion went.

We can't be accused of exaggerating, here.

9. Funny Bremer could not produce any real verification of that

Only his say so..

[RaleighNCDUer]

10. His word isn't enough?

It makes me wonder what the good accounting for that other 3 billion consisted of. A log entry?
