The missing $8.8 billion....is it being used today?

[young_at_heart]

Remember that HUGE amount of money that went missing in 2004? It was given to Iraqi ministries by the former U.S.-led authority for the Development Fund for Iraq. Has anyone ever discovered where it went? That an awful lot of money to just disappear....think of all the good it could have done in our own country!

1. Do we know if the Iraqi ministries actually received the money?

Could that money be stashed under Rummy's bed to be used as a slush fund for dark deeds, like, say, overthrowing regimes in South America that aren't friendly to the Bush* gang?

$8.8 billion could go a long way in hiring secret mercenary armies.

2. I bet you a penny....

(that's all I have in change at the moment..) that it's being funneled into congressional races and some of it being stockpiled for 2008....either that or Cheney rolls around in it in his basement wearing his "special" torture outfit.

10. My sentiments as well.

You don't just lose that kind of money.

3. It is probably showing up

as Montana mini-ranches, Caribbean winter homes, yachts, Texas mansions on ranches, other huge real estate buys to bury the money. It's in the hands of republican war profiteers and traitors.

May they and their counterparts suffer and die from long-term painful diseases.

4. Don't forget the UN investigation into the Food for Oil Scandal!

Which was a Publican attack point against the UN and was for allot less money, but 9 billion dollars of taxpayer's money to be lost, is unmentioned by the CM (corporate media) or even questioned by Publican controlled government. Hmmmm, wonder who's pockets are lined with that money? As always, follow the money and it leads to some Publican corruption and or crimes. With so many scandals involving the Publicans it's hard to pick just one.

5. I bet it's buying a lot of attack ads right now, as well as padding some

people's Swiss or Cayman bank accounts.

6. bushco mult-billions have vanished into thin air..........

this alone should land 'SOMEBODIES' in jail. If this had happened during the Clinton Administration's watch, EVERYONE IN THAT ADMINISTRATION would be punching out license plates in their orange jumpsuits behind razor wire topped fences.

9. This was asked of Rumsfeld; he responded with, "next question"

[young_at_heart]

11. Getting a response from him and others is next to impossible

Just like no one ever asks him about the reason he refused to fly commercial just before 9/11...no one will touch this for some reason!
