If even ONE BILLION DOLLARS would be sufficient personal motive to defraud the nation into war with Iraq, TWELVE BILLION DOLLARS would!

And that makes me wonder how much is REALLY missing!

12 Billion dollars sent to Iraq is missing.  I am almost appalled but very little appalls me anymore.
Could this money have been intercepted by enemies of America and now be used against us?
Have we not heard it all now?

It's not lost.  They just spent it on beer and pizza. Oh, and those beautiful $40,000 toilet seats




MzMia -> RE: Missing 12 billion dollars? Has anyone found it yet? (2/7/2007 2:59:58 PM)

Who knows where it really is.  Too many possibilities.  Could be our government, couldn've been someone in the military that got to it on the way over, could have been terrorists, could have been the Iraqis.  If they post a good enough reward I'll going money hunting myself.  Who wants to form a posse? A team of money tracking mercs, busting heads and tracking receipts.

Alright, then I dub thee the first of my Finacial Recovery Knights or FiRK..make that second, I guess I'm the first. My sword is a Remington .308 semi-auto rifle w/scope.  Let's go track us some cash.  Who else?

Oh I have been thinking about the money a lot lately.  Many people are struggling, homeless, cold, poor, etc.
Budget cuts and we have billions to just lose? People are serving life in prison for stealing less than $1,000.

No, I have not found it yet.  If I find it, I will let you all know.  How much is the reward for finding it?


Probably around $22 billion by now... Give or TAKE a few billion..[;)]




OffTheBeatenTrak -> RE: Missing 12 billion dollars? Has anyone found it yet? (2/8/2007 4:41:12 PM)

Just think of how many WMDs iraq could buy with that amount of money... and they'd still have engough left money for supper and the bus home..Lol




HydroMaster -> RE: Missing 12 billion dollars? Has anyone found it yet? (2/8/2007 5:43:12 PM)

sambamanslilgril-Hope he can spring for a more effective recruitment strategy too.  I still think we're the only two. As if billions of dollars isn't incentive enough.  And we need to recruit or kidnap an accountant.  You know that money has already been through the laundry :-)

Archer -> RE: Missing 12 billion dollars? Has anyone found it yet? (2/8/2007 8:42:25 PM)

OK folks try reading a bit more before screaming about it being taxpayer money, the accounts I have read have this as being money that was frozen after the first Gulf War and released to the Iraqi government for the rebuild.

This is not to say we should not have better oversight of so much money being transfered but it is THEIR money not OURS.
Had it been taxpayer money I can see and would join in the outrage level myself but the reports (including this story down near the bottom if you read far enough) tell me that this was Iraqi money from their oil sales and from formerly frozen accounts. So I'm a bit less outraged.
