There is no excuse for the mismanagement. In private business, people would get fired, starting with the president, on down. The money trail should be thoroughly investigated. The Democrats are cowards if they do not thoroughly investigate this matter and put pressure on getting the incompetents fired. This is not a question of politics. Even assuming that it was right to go to Iraq, the subsequent handling is pure incompetency.

Why are'nt these people being charged in crimina court. I believe they committed some crimes?

I understand the amount now declared "missing" is about $12 billions. Wouldn't that be nice to put into Social Security solvency or Medicare? No, that money has been eaten up by the filthy corruption that shows what the real reason for this "war" was.

Why cash? There is no excuse. The Iraqi banks continued to function. Visa is still everywhere etc. The phones worked so online charges and money transfers could be handled. There is no excuse. This is organized crime. The perpetrators are traitors and should be spending the rest of their lives behind bars. This is RICO stuff.

Where's the special prosecutor?

I think when this was done was right after the "war" ended and there were no banks, etc. By the way, I read today that Custer Battles was completely vindicated in the allegations of fraud against them when the judge threw their case out.
