Whatever happened to the missing $7.7 billion Iraq money?
A bombshell struck the news about two months ago. A charitable organization, Christian Aid, claimed that the majority of the money which was intended for rebuilding Iraq had "vanished into thin air". They claimed that more than $7.7 billion dollars vanished out of two accounts. So far, no one has been able to explain what happened to the money. This was US taxpayer money, by the way.

Paul Bremer (George's cousin) came on the air and said he was completely satisfied with the accounting. He said they were going to provide a complete accounting for all the expenses on a web site soon. This was October 23.

Any news on any such web site?

recall that a lot of cash and gold were 'found' in Iraq, too ...
i've wondered where all of that went ... the least Congress could have done was to ask for the money's serial numbers to be accounted for and traced

Iraq's become a black hole, a vacuum of secrecy in this regard.

I remember something about the CIA taking that money... for the, uh, war on terra..yeah, that's it..

3. Look up---into that thin air
Watch the jets as they create artificial cloud cover. See them spray something into the sky, a something that lingers and spreads laterally into what is meant to pass for clouds.

You can observe twelve or more of these spray missions in a given hour, almost anywhere in Amerika--indeed, almot anywhere on Earth. A lot of planes, a lot of fuel and a lot of manpower are involved. This operation is taking up a shitload of money.

That money has to come from somewhere.

4. It has gone into the hands of God.
After all God has blessed our country and we may do as we wish. I am sure the tax payers understand this.
