And now Obama / Biden makes a blunder almost three times as bad?!
 
This was between 2004 and 2007 so it was all Bush all the time.

You're talking about reconstruction dollars from the U.S. taxpayer that disappeared on pallets, as cash.

This was money from Iraqi oil that was supposed to rebuild their contry so it wouldn't cost the taxpayers a dime.

Remember the promises? $1 billion dollars was all the Iraq war would cost the taxpayers because Iraqi oil would pay for the rest.

We heard it parroted here too.

Don't get me wrong. I'm sure that if we wait long enough and we'll hear about plenty of this kind of thing in Afghanistan under Obama, too. Some of it is almost unavoidable, once you get into one of these messes. Iraq and Afghanistan are huge ones.
