Washington - After the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in March 2003, the Bush administration flooded the conquered country with so much cash to pay for reconstruction and other projects in the first year that a new unit of measurement was born.
Pentagon officials determined that one giant C-130 Hercules cargo plane could carry $2.4 billion in shrink-wrapped bricks of $100 bills. They sent an initial full planeload of cash, followed by 20 other flights to Iraq by May 2004 in a $12 billion haul that U.S. officials believe to be the biggest international cash airlift of all time.

As a conservative, Bush was a disaster on many levels. Sorry just have to say it.

There are no doubt a group of U.S. servicemen and maybe women sitting in luxurious homes, driving expensive cars and living the good life.
Given all that cash it only stands to reason that a pallet of hundreds here or a pallet of a hundreds there would go missing. Pretty soon you are talking about REAL MONEY.
The dollar has been a weapon for some time now, nothing new.
Especially bundles of untraceable CASH.
I think they did that on purpose to "buy friendships" and then let those "friends" buy weapons.
It wouldn't surprise me one bit to find out we're probably financing the very war we fight from both sides.

That was an actual strategy for WW I and II.
It very well could of worked.
If they're killing themselves they aren't killing us.
Meanwhile, back on the ranch, we're colonizing your companies and murdering opposition forces that aren't "pro-democracy." "You will assimilate."
You had a national disaster? Call the "International" Monetary Fund. They'll help you out with the goods you need.
Make sure you read the fine print on that loan though because failure to pay cost lives, governments, resources, futures, hope, Independence, freedom in other words the American Dream™.
So YOU are that 1% at the top that has all the money that we want to tax so bad ?
LOL... how do you think I afford all those lobbyists to make sure 6.6 Billion goes "missing"...
