GOP Fiscal Honesty Myth Shattered- $Billions Lost in Iraq
When the Inspector General for the Defense Department recently released a 69-page audit to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform criticizing the ‘reckless at best’, accounting practices by the Pentagon of the Iraq invasion and subsequent occupation that couldn’t rationally account for almost $15 Billion worth of goods and services ranging from trucks, bottled water and mattresses to rocket-propelled grenades and machine guns that were bought from contractors in the Iraq reconstruction effort. You would think the American People would be outraged and in the streets immediately protesting, or at the very least contacting their congressman demanding a better explanation of how $15 billion just vanished without a clue.
