Channel 4 - Iraq's Missing Billions

bamdrewsays...

wow, this is very, very sad. betrayals of trust on the part of war profiteers ending with children and babies not having basic hospital treatment available. An important point is noted at the end; Iraq's healthcare services were envied in the middle east before the war, and it was not the 3rd world country it is today.

... another interesting part is the scene at 31 minutes, when the narrator, an Iraqi doctor, relates how his house was raided by US troops the night before, who made a 'mistake' and later gave him $1,500 to repair the car and house which they smashed before he was hooded and taken to a military base.

I'm for the war, but this is infuriating. Sadly, it's also the American Way, and our tax monies "disappearing" happens at all times whether there's a war or not. Americans simply don't care (enough) where our tax money goes, and though we have a federal "General Accounting Office" (GAO) it is virtually powerless and DOES NOT monitor every government agency. Americans deserve honest government with full accountability, but we don't strive for it nor demand it, and certainly don't demand prosecution of government thieves when we catch them. Therefore, we get what we deserve.
