Bush’s War, Bush’s and Cheney’s Contractor Friends, $9 Billion Gone…Setup?
I am appalled at the thought that Bush’s War has resulted in fraud and the theft of Billions of US Dollars during the period 2004 to 2007 . This is what we know so far but as investigations progress, we will know more and I think we will uncover who are the secret partners that worked together with the contractors who allegedly stole this money in various way including overcharging the Military for services, food, and shabby construction that killed. It is a well known fact that some of our servicemen were electrocuted to death in the showers after coming in from battle and going to wash themselves.
There are many reputable news agencies globally that have reported on the fraudulent happenings, some are included below via this Wikipedia story.
The United States Department of Justice has 900 cases of alleged fraud by contractors to investigate. The Defense Contract Audit Agency similarly has uncovered $10 billion in questionable Iraq contracts and a US audit found that the occupation authority lost track of reconstruction funds totalling nearly $9 billion.
Henry Waxman, Chairman of the United States House of Representatives committee on oversight and government reform, said: “The money that’s gone into waste, fraud and abuse under these contracts is just so outrageous, it’s egregious. It may well turn out to be the largest war profiteering in history.” END
This is what is reported by CNN on the subject.
The audit centered on the Development Fund for Iraq (DFI), which was established in May 2003 by the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA).
After the CPA was dissolved in June 2004, the Iraqi government authorized the U.S. government to administer the funds used for reconstruction.
The Pentagon managed the DFI funds until the end of 2007, when its authority was withdrawn.
The special inspector general reviewed records from eight Defense Department organizations that received DFI funds.
“This situation occurred because most DoD organizations receiving DFI funds did not establish the required Department of the Treasury accounts and no DoD organization was designated as the executive agent for managing the use of DFI funds,” the report concluded. “The breakdown in controls left the funds vulnerable to inappropriate uses and undetected loss.”
I’m losing the will to live…off to bed…hic…nite America and…in reality…who really gives a shit?
Only bleeding heart softies like us bro. lol
I’m a little skewed here, Maybe because I’ve witnessed to much.
The old adage, follow the money rings true. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the name Cheney comes up upon completion of the investigation.
Tim, in our circle it already has, and we the people of the internets are exposing it and them, so regardless if Rupert Murdock buys all the TV, Radio and Newspaper orgs, we will still not back down from them. We will tell the truth and expose them, history will do the rest.
Bush has already gone down in history as the biggest imbecil and worst Pres who Bankrupted the world…and he is the product of Nazi money!!

I have to agree with Jerry on this one. This seems to be what always happens when the Republicans run things, especially with an idiot like Dubya in the WH.
Yes I agree, Dumbya did do his best to please his daddy, but the internet has made it possible for us to expose him and Cheney for their crimes.

This is what always happens when the republicans run things.
Hopefully the Dems will not do it too much also, after all we still have a few rotten apples, but the bloggers and the internet is fast exposing them and they are stepping in line.
Wouldn’t it be nice. For years have made it clear I want the honor of pulling the trip rope on these treasonous bastards.
This is what you and we will do, with the internet and the truth…and a big fucking spotlight called the BLOG.
C’mon, One Fly, this is America, the bad guys always get what’s coming to ’em.
Randal, They did since the old days, but those days are over, the internet is the knife that will pierce the heart of the beasts, and expose them to the world.

Makes no difference how many investigations they have and there have been plenty.
My point is that never is anyone held accountable for anything.
They knew this from the very beginning when Bush was installed that they were going to be able to rape at will and never have to pay.
One Fly, what you say is true, I hate that we do not prosecute these bastards, but as long as there are we the bloggers, who are now the frontline on the War for truth and justice, we will always throw their crimes in their faces, in the public arena, and they will never be free of their crimes, we will hold them accountable.
This is a setup, they have been doing this with all the wars since WW1, war profiteering has always been their modus operandi.

Agreed-like elephants in that we/I won’t forget.
Rove is coming to town towards the end of next month. This is a small place. I’ve asked my buds if they hear if he’s going to be out and about anywhere accessible. Just because.
Pie in face-go to slammer-is it worth it-maybe if it’s on video. Help would be needed and that’s hard to get here.
No Pie in Face, Big sign in front of his face is better and you won’t get arrested.
