My Dear Brothers and Sisters

Would you ship 363 TONS of money---CASH (green pieces of paper with Presidents' pictures on them)---into an unstable war zone?

Bush and Cheney authorized US Government to ship CASH Bills weighing a total of 363 tons into Iraq.

The U.S. Federal Reserve sent record payouts of more than $4 billion (2 billion pounds) in cash to Baghdad on giant pallets aboard military planes shortly before the United States gave control back to Iraqis, lawmakers said on Tuesday.

Rep. Henry Waxman, chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform said the bills were loaded onto military aircraft in the largest cash shipments ever made by the Federal Reserve.

Who in their right mind would send 363 tons of cash into a war zone? But that's exactly what our government did," the California Democrat said during a hearing reviewing possible waste, fraud and abuse of funds in Iraq.

Imagine how many hospitals, clinics and universities could have been built?

Although, the PNAC NeoCon thinktank prefers Wars to make money. Wars are investments for them with high returns and figures created on THEIR say.

For example, it is ironic that Rumsfeld's company got many of the rebuilding contracts (with millions unaccounted for).. and that Bush, Condoleeza and many others sitting on boards of Weapons, Oil, construction companies.

The Rich get richer whilst poor made to go give their lives for worthless reasons.

Wasalam.

Hot tubs in Iraq?

Probe uncovers millions, maybe billions of dollars in fraud in Iraq funding.

Money that was earmarked for Iraq reconstruction has been misdirected and stolen, some of it for jewels and SUVs.

Paul McNulty reported that two defendants even went so far as to use the money to build a new hot tub and deck on their own home in New Jersey.
