'Failure to account' for Iraq cash

Post by Forthe »

Iraqi money cannot be accounted for by occupying forces responsible for the funds, according to two new reports.
Discrepancies are highlighted in the handling of $20bn (£11bn) generated from Iraq's oil and other sources since war ended last year.

Maybe this explains Bremer's quick departure.

Unlike you Forthe I am less cynical ( wow being less cynical than someone always comes as a surprise to me ) and do not think it is about money the Iraqi's have lost. But if you examine it from a PR perspective it is top down a smart move. The gains of big meetings, ceremonies etc would be destroyed by animals beheading people, dragging bodies through the streets and our people being animals and abusing prisoners.

You and I ( and I say this because I respect your ability to logic) both know that ever Tom, Dick and Abdullah was prepping to dominate on July First making sure their point was heard on the news rather than the transfer.

It was actually kind of slick, I have to wonder who they outsourced the decision to....
