~Not to worry. By the time he leaves office, Georgie the younger will have lost another trillion or four. Pretty soon, we're gonna be talking some real money here.

Answer 2

Ask Dubya where the money's at. I'm sure he knows.
Did you notice, that very conveniently he was away from the White House on 9/11, reading (yeah, that's believable) to a group of children? Normally, at that hour the WTC would have had at least 25,000 people in the building, yet it wound up to be virtually empty in comparison. At least that's what we've been told. Were the executives warned of the attack? Many of the casualties consisted of policemen, and firemen, in there to rescue the trapped. The numbers just don't quite add up do they? Somewhere, along the line we are not being told the truth about that horrible day. It was staged. Dubya with a hard had on, standing by huge piles of rubble, saying he'll get who's responsible. To this day Osama roams free!

If you're referring to the amount of money the US government can't account for, then yes. That is why the national auditors wouldn't sign off on 18 of the 26 major accounting divisions in the US government. As to where it is - that's just the point. We don't know. We never will. This number just represents the sum total of US government assets not accounted for. It could be property, vehicles, cash, equipment - you name it. I'm sure that figure is a lot higher today.

Well I know it's true that airlines stock was shorted the most ever on wall street the week before 9/11

Answer 5

One billion dollars has been plundered from Iraq's defence ministry in one of the largest thefts in history, The Independent can reveal, leaving the country's army to fight a savage insurgency with museum-piece weapons. The money, intended to train and equip an Iraqi army capable of bringing security to a country shattered by the US-led invasion and prolonged rebellion, was instead siphoned abroad in cash and has disappeared.

"It is possibly one of the largest thefts in history," Ali Allawi, Iraq's Finance Minister, told The Independent. "Huge amounts of money have disappeared. In return we got nothing but scraps of metal."

The carefully planned theft has so weakened the army that it cannot hold Baghdad against insurgent attack without American military support, Iraqi officials say, making it difficult for the US to withdraw its 135,000- strong army from Iraq, as Washington says it wishes to do. Most of the money was supposedly spent buying arms from Poland and Pakistan. The contracts were peculiar in four ways. According to Mr Allawi, they were awarded without bidding, and were signed with a Baghdad-based company, and not directly with the foreign supplier. The money was paid up front, and, surprisingly for Iraq, it was paid at great speed out of the ministry's account with the Central Bank. Military equipment purchased in Poland included 28-year-old Soviet-made helicopters. The manufacturers said they should have been scrapped after 25 years of service. Armoured cars purchased by Iraq turned out to be so poorly made that even a bullet from an elderly AK-47 machine-gun could penetrate their armour. A shipment of the latest MP5 American machine-guns, at a cost of $3,500 (£1,900) each, consisted in reality of Egyptian copies worth only $200 a gun. Other armoured cars leaked so much oil that they had to be abandoned. A deal was struck to buy 7.62mm machine-gun bullets for 16 cents each, although they should have cost between 4 and 6 cents.

Many Iraqi soldiers and police have died because they were not properly equipped. In Baghdad they often ride in civilian pick-up trucks vulnerable to gunfire, rocket- propelled grenades or roadside bombs. For months even men defusing bombs had no protection against blast because they worked without bullet-proof vests. These were often promised but never turned up.

The Iraqi Board of Supreme Audit says in a report to the Iraqi government that US-appointed Iraqi officials in the defence ministry allegedly presided over these dubious transactions. Senior Iraqi officials now say they cannot understand how, if this is so, the disappearance of almost all the military procurement budget could have passed unnoticed by the US military in Baghdad and civilian advisers working in the defence ministry. Government officials in Baghdad even suggest that the skill with which the robbery was organised suggests that the Iraqis involved were only front men, and "rogue elements" within the US military or intelligence services may have played a decisive role behind the scenes.

I would believe it more if it were in the billions. However, our government has probably wasted or lost funds in the trillions over the very long term.
