Reported about six hours ago from Iraqslogger. Two security guards involved.
The biggest theft in Iraq previously reported was 1 Billion dollars which occured right after Operation Shock and Awe.
Once again the American taxpayers, that would be us: Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Public (Firesign Theater h/t), have been taken to the cleaners.
Nice timing on the heist. bushco will be apoplectic with this wonderful publicity.
Another little gem in the Washington Post this morning penned by the ever-vigilant Bob Woodward, reports that the Iraq Study Group was given two briefings back in November '06 by Dubya who droned on about winning in Iraq and how peachy things were. Followed by briefing that said al-Maliki government was a disaster.
Nice news in surreal world tonight.
