US puppets in Iraq blow a few billion dollars

This even dwarfs the revolting oil-for-food scandal at the UN, which of course, the US knew about but chose to do nothing. The hand picked puppets in Iraq have spent $1.3 Billion on purchasing military equipment, much of which is outdated and unusable. When the dust settles, there could be up to $2Billion worth of wasted US taxpayer money spent by the puppet government. I'm sick of hearing wingnuts talking about liberals as free spenders when I have yet to witness any willingness to be cautious about spending from Team Bush. The so-called conservative party is all about cronyism, no-bid contracts and helping their own. If the money is going to their friends in high places, cash is lavished upon the richest of the rich but when we talk about average and poor Americans, they are always asked to tighten their belts. (This reminds me of the old joke from Vietnam during the end of the Soviet era: Memo from Moscow - limited budget, time to tighten belts. Response from Vietnam: send belts.)

Is Team Bush really the team that we want distributing $200B along the Gulf Coast? Can we really trust these people to spend our money and govern our country? Just think what the Gulf Coast region could have done with an extra $2 Billion of US taxpayer money. Just think what average Americans could have done with that money.

US money seems to always go through Chalabi and his family and friends, so how long before we hear new allegations of corruption tied to that guy?
