DEJA VU #136,542 (give or take a couple) OR..JUST HOW DO YOU LOSE 9 BILLION DOLLARS

According to the BBC. the US Provisional Government in Iraq sold about 20 billion dollars of oil before turning power over to the Iraqi Governing Authority. Unfortunately, about 9 billion dollars of that money is missing. Yep, almost half of the money is gone. Even for this incompetent administration, this seems hard to imagine. HOW THE HELL DO YOU LOSE TRACK OF 9 BILLION DOLLARS?

Is it any wonder the rebuilding of the Iraq has been such a disaster? Could it be any more clear that the Defense Dept. under Rumsfeld couldn't manage a little league team, let alone an occupation?
