CUTTING EDGE - IRAQ'S MISSING BILLIONS
This documentary reveals what has happened to the billions of dollars of Iraqi reconstruction money entrusted to the American Coalition. In just fourteen months, the CPA burned its way through nearly $20 billion. But no one can account for where it all went. Iraq's infrastructure is worse than ever before. Operating theatres are flooded with sewage. New-born babies are dying for lack of basic equipment. In this investigation, Iraqi doctor Ali Fadhil goes in search of the missing money. He uncovers a horrific story of fraud, incompetence and corruption. As word spread of the kind of money that could be made in Iraq, foreign contractors flocked in. According to this documentary, companies like Custer Battles billed for work they hadn't done and charged the CPA a 1000% mark up for their expenses. While dodgy contractors were making millions, the Iraqi people were left paying the price. According to the United States' own figures, Iraq's essential services are worse than before the war.

I don't get these people who say we should leave Iraq because the majority of its citizens don't want us there. What's that got to do with anything? The Germans or Japanese didn't want us there after WWII at first either. Had we left I'm sure they would have resumed slaughtering Jews and Chinesse. When we left Vietnam they went back to slaughtering and they killed 15 million people! If we leave the job unfinished in Iraq won't the same thing happen?

The reason I ask is; Nobody really seems to knows exactly what we are doing over there. What are we trying to prove, or gain?(and don't give me that democracy crap) I really do not know, even as a veteran. But I can tell you this, The President needs to focus on bigger things like, "HIS OWN PEOPLE". We're just gonna continue to lose lives of our soldiers if we don't get out now. Well I'm about to stop writing about it because this subject really works a nerve for me. I appreciate your answers and God Bless.

I realize a president must cater to the Zionist while in his first term,or he will not be reelected, but, since Bush could not run a third term don't you think he should have told Israel to shove it and get off their high horse and do as the U,N, and the world has asked, instead of protecting them unconditionally, how can we expect the world to like us or respect us when we condone them killing women, children , the one incident where the 12 year old boy was killed and his dad wounded should be enought to make anyones heart break, they were no where near the kids throwing rocks, yet they were killed by four 50 cal, machine gun fire froma the Isreali tank and how can any one justify killing these kids because they threw rocks at a Israeli tank , they couldn't possible did any harm to the tank or the people inside, but, Israel has committed so many instances of murder I guess they think one more won't even count, but, this time it was filmed, when will the American people say enough?

My friend went to AIT for (B31). He joined Oct 06 on a 2 year contract. He told me when he gets out. He does NOT have to go over seas or anything. I am very confused!!! He told me, after AIT he will be home and nothing will be changed. What does he mean?!

Cause I've heard they get sent somewhere. Does it ALWAYS happen, that they go over seas?

My friend thinks he is in the army or has been. He practices military stances, room entry techniques; hand-to-hand combat that he created even wants me to be partners with him. He says military words and uses those 10-codes from police and made up some of his own that he wanted me to go by. He stands by the door ready to defend himself at any moment. I know he is not in the army nor has been. Is this normal? I have even once seen him wear camouflage uniform. He told me he was jumped many times and don’t trust anyone.

Hi! I know of a reservist that has been actived due to 9/11. Since that time he's remarried and enrolled his stepsons (who visit their deadbeat mom every other weekend) in the military DEERS and Tricare programs and has used these benefits even though he enrolled them fraudulently. Even more frightening is that I have reason to suspect he deceived the military regarding his education and in actuality has not earned his bachelor's even though he is an officer. He's being sued by someone for failure to pay for a service provided, so I think he has money problems. Letters/talks to his supervisor, first seargeant, and base commander, as well as Pass and ID on base, have been fruitless. This guy has a top secret clearance and I am concerned that if this is the level of integrity that he has shown openly, what other behaviors is he capable of and how much damage could he do to our country? Who should I contact with this information, or am I being over cautious?
