Your Tax Dollars at Work . . . or Play . . . or Something

CNBC: The Pentagon doesn’t know what happened to more than $100 million in cash held at Saddam Hussein’s palace in Baghdad during the Iraq war, according to a new report by the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction.

What’s more, the Pentagon can’t find documents to explain what it spent as much as $1.7 billion on from funds held on behalf of the Iraqi government by the New York Federal Reserve, the report says.

I'm shocked, shocked that the Pentagon can't find the money after they placed a billion dollars cash on a pallet, shipped it to a war-torn nation in chaos, and provided no method of maintaining a paper trail. Here's a suggestion: Check some Swiss and Cayman Island bank accounts.
