The missing billion dollars from the Iraqi Defense Fund..
Allawi''s cabinet signed 89 contracts with one beneficiary -- Chalabi

POL-IRAQ-CHALABI-FRAUD
Allawi's cabinet signed 89 contracts with one beneficiary -- Chalabi

I heard a guy working inside Allawi's office while he was interim prez
on Charlie Rose say,"suitcases and metal boxes full of shrink wrapped
100's bills were being taken by men working for Allawi".Time for another investigation

1. But doesn't EO 13303 shield all of this from serious investigation?

6. I dont know the answer Montauk
but a billion dollars came up short soon after allawi was voted out as
head puppet/dictator of Iraq.Someone claimed he witnessed suitcases
full of brand new 100's bills.It sickens me how the Bush Crime Family
corrupts other leaders with taxpayer dollars.
When will the people wake up and demand accountability for our hard
earned dollars.
Still,i admit what can we do? :shrug: :shrug: :hi: :dem:

9. Stop giving them your hard-earned dollars.

Did you know income tax is unconstitutional? There are legal ways to become a tax protestor. Do it now, before the SCOTUS changes everything.

Or, at least, stop "feeding evil", as Ramsey Clark said today. He and Ralph both said we need to get CONGRESS to start impeachment. Ralph said we need 100 more signatures in the House.

3. I knew it.
When this story broke, I knew it was this guy. He's a world-class embezzler and conman. I suspect that he's the frontman for a syndicate that goes to the top of our government. I wonder how much of that money greased the Bush-Cheney 2004 campaign?

4. We know about the shrink-wrapped bills.
That's how the US does business overseas, for crying out loud. Easy to just dash over to the Halliburton, KBR and BlackH2O offices with a briefcase every day.
Can you say "looters"?

7. No, they use Back Packs in Iraq,
Terry Gross did an interview with a former Colonel who said they his guys would come in and he'd say, "how many backpacks do you need..."

I think it was back in June on WHYY/NPR's "Fresh Air"

8. What they really need is the hockey bags
they hold more and are the covering of choice for the MJ smugglers along the US-Canadian border.

11. Chalabi is Cheney's man. They won't investigate this crook.
'They' are republicans.
