Like we needed it, but here is more proof that the current administration is filled with nothing but a bunch of fuck ups:
?U.S. government mismanagement of assets in Iraq, from the lack of proper documentation on nearly $100 million in cash to millions of dollars worth of unaccounted-for equipment? The latest indication of that came Wednesday when investigators released a report saying $96.6 million in cash could not be properly accounted for. The total included more than $7 million that was simply gone, according to the report from the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction.? (as written by Matt Kelly, Associated Press. Boston.com)

So let me get this straight? we cannot find 7 million dollars? Well, I guess that is chump change when you consider that the ?war? in Iraq has cost close to $167 billion (as of today), right? Well, call me crazy, but not when we don?t have health care for everyone, not when we are ?getting rid? of social security for ?those who don?t need it?, and certainly not when almost everything that would help anyone that ?needs? it, is under-funded (see No Child Left Behind). So, since we are spending beaucoups of money doing this thing, can we at least watch what we are spending it on? (my guess is that Halliburton?s pocket feels about $7 million heavier these days? and you can be damn sure that they aren?t saying a word. )
