After the Obama inflation kicks in, we’ll be using a trillion-dollar bill to buy a pack of cigarettes at 7-11.

“It was not, it is crucial to note here, U.S. tax-payer dollars which have gone missing in Iraq.”
Gee my kids always thought money just grew on trees. So if not tax-payer whose money was it?

Bill them for three times that amount and take it out in oil.

some officials in Baghdad have threatened to take the U.S. government to court to reclaim the missing loot
It is statements like this that will make more and more Americans staunch isolationists. Perhaps it is time for a bolder statement from the United States:
For decades, Americans have been asked to intervene in foreign skirmishes because other nations refuse to act. As of today, the United States is removing all troops from foreign countries. We have decided that it is a waste of our time, our blood and our money.
Furthermore, we will release a list of our allies. If any of these allies gets attacked by a nation or by rogue groups inside of that nation, the United States will view said attacks as an act of war against the United States and will respond with overwhelming force to military sites.
If you wish your country to be considered for addition to the ally list, your country will have to meet a list of criteria (list open for discussion). If you are a citizen of an enemy country and do not wish for your country to be attacked, we would suggest that you take matters into your own hands and reform your country's government.
Sincerely,
The United States of America

Yes.
Those funds are separate and distinct from the money we KNOW is being stolen and the dollars which everyone pretty much assumes, based on past experience, will go missing...

pay it back with some our unproductive land - say, NJ or maybe they would prefer San Francisco or Minneapolis. Certainly we can work out a deal.(sarc)

If Henry Waxman is flapping his gums about this, then that would be the first place to look.

Here is a simple solution:
1. Shut down the Fed and print our own money. Kennedy was starting to so do before he was killed.
2. Send the fed bureaucrats to that Moslim ‘nation’ as slaves. Slavery IS legal under Islam.
Announce the problem to be solved.

I do it all the time! Anyway, the money should be accounted for, but we should still keep it....
To: Amberdawn
Yeah your right about being accountable, and keeping it. What I think is strange is sending all that cash! Why cash? I mean a money order or cashier check, wire transfer lol, is there something there under the table with no paper trail, and who was on the receiving end of all this money. Maybe we need a smell test, I mean 6 billion can’t be 1 person.
