Default Audit finds lax oversight in contractor payments
Quote:
WASHINGTON (AP) -- An internal audit of some $8 billion paid to U.S. and Iraqi contractors found that nearly every transaction failed to comply with federal laws or regulations aimed at preventing fraud, in some cases lacking even basic invoices explaining how the money was spent.
The only success of this war has been the successful fleecing by military industry, at the expense of taxpayers.

"Conservatives" can't be bothered.

Default What Do You Expect?
as in all business it starts at the top, honesty integrity, fairness, consideration, respect for others, the blame the other guy syndrome, how does the current administration stand with these personal attributes.

At this point, I expect maximum profits for military industry, and more stupid reasons to keep wasting money this way.

This is not a conservative vs liberal issue or
Democrate vs Republican issue
this is a total government issue

Thank you sir! I appreciate the fact that someone here recognizes that assessing blame isn't the sole exclusive means to solving a problem.

According to Crestwood, it's just George Bush's fault.

No one else.
