60 Minutes' Steve Kroft Reports On Disappearance Of More Than $500 Million To Equip Iraqi Army

(CBS) More than half a billion dollars earmarked to fight the insurgency in Iraq was stolen by people the U.S. had entrusted to run the country's Ministry of Defense before the 2005 elections, according to Iraqi investigators.

Iraq's former minister of finance says coalition members like the U.S. and Britain are doing little to help recover the money or catch suspects, most of whom fled the country.

[repinwi]

It's all Bush's fault.

[popdonnelly]

CBS exists to elect Democrats.

"The case is one of 2,000 Iraqi government corruption cases the judge’s commission is handling that, all told, involve $7.5 billion."

That's Bush's fault too! lol

This is the response from the DUmmy who had brought this article to my attention and wanted me to comment on it.

"It was US tax payers money given to help the Iraqi's and the members of the Iraqi Government we put in power stole it"

[sure_fine]

considerng that if you added up all the tax paid by DU crews, they couldn't buy a plane ticket out of town, what do you expect

[Cicero]

I'll bet Murtha and his contractor pals steal ten times as much from the defense budget.

[MNJohnnie]

It's See-BS. Another fraulent news story like the Bush National Guard story designed to influence the elections?

[MNJohnnie]

Anyone bother to notice their ONLY source is the guy kicked out of the New Iraqi Goverment because he was so grotesquely incompetent?

Yeah, THIS source doesn't have an ax to grind right CBS?

[massgopguy]

What do these Iraqis think they are, Massachusetts Democrats?

[LexBaird]

Maybe Kofi can cover it out of the money he and his spawn stole from the U.N.'s "Oil for Food and Presidential Palaces" funds.
