Billions of dollars lost in Iraq
 

I've only just seen this:

***The former head of the US-led civilian administration in Iraq has defended his decision to send billions of dollars in cash to Baghdad in 2003 and 2004.

Paul Bremer told a Congressional committee investigating allegations of waste and fraud that he had done his best to kick-start Iraq's economy.

The funds came from Iraqi oil revenue and previously frozen assets.

Much of the money went missing and critics say there was no system to track how it was used...................***

Plenty of people will happily take it off your hands.
However if you are posting this as some kind of anti-war message think again. All it goes to prove is that yet again the greedy, incompetent and corrupt run the show and we all knew that anyway.
