Audit reveals billions of dollars of Iraqi oil funds gone missing
- guardian.co.uk, Tuesday July 27 2010
- Martin Chulov in Baghdad
The US department of defence has called in forensic accountants to help track $8.1bn (£5.2bn) of $9.1bn in Iraq's oil revenue entrusted to it after the fall of Baghdad, following an official audit that revealed the money was missing. The funds were to be used for spending on reconstruction during 2004-07, a period when Iraq was under weak transitional rule.
So the Pentagon doesn't do war, intelligence or accounting .... wonder what it is good at?
