This is pathetic
Over $100 Million not accounted for in Iraq and the best that US officials can come up with is THIS?
The officials cited challenges such as high turnover, security concerns and a lack of basic office supplies, including file cabinets.
"The environment here in Iraq during the war had a debilitating effect on the quality of statements of work and contracts in general," Army Maj. Gen. John Urias, the head of contracting in Iraq, wrote in a remarkably candid reply. "Crisis management was the order of the day."
You can't account for ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS because they don't have FILE CABINETS??!! Let me try that with the IRS, see how that flies. I mean, if that was an explanation for missing $20,000 or even $200,000 I MIGHT be okay with that. But $100 MILLION???
What do you want to bet that this story disappears into the dustbin with all the other tales of incredible incompetence of this Administration in Iraq? How much does it TAKE to get someone FIRED around here for extreme negligence??
