Mystery in Iraq as $300 Million is Taken Abroad --Earlier this month, according to Iraqi officials, $300 million in American bills was taken out of Iraq's Central Bank, put into boxes and quietly put on a charter jet bound for Lebanon. The money was to be used to buy tanks and other weapons from international arms dealers , the officials say, as part of an accelerated effort to assemble an armored division for the fledgling Iraqi Army. But exactly where the money went, and to whom, and for precisely what, remains a mystery, at least to Iraqis who say they have been trying to find out.

Has anyone heard anything about this? How do you "lose" $300 million? Isn't that a lot of cash to misplace? Is there ANYTHING this administration can do right? Love the insert - Check Cheney's pockets.
