Man, if 20+ billion goes missing, I'd sure like to find it in my pockets.

I agree with the black water statement, of course it could be grievence money pay to the Husien's, Bush probably lost a good buddy. It could be that it's not really money, but more debt for us U.S. folks to work off, just for the Gov to hang over our heads and crash our economy.

Interestingly, because of the rising cost of oil, they placed an estimate at 2.4 trillion for the Iraq oil.

I can't help but wonder - is the money worth it in the end?

I watched the documentary. I'm absolutely staggered! I always knew the American administration were corrupt, but I didn't think it was to such an extent. The American Administration is rotten to the core

You all need to watch this film. It's an excellent documentary with hard facts. I'm surprised it even made it on to air. I suspect their was a lot of opposition from the vultures who have profited from the chaos and death.

Well done to BBC for telling the truth and airing this film.

you know - first granada tv make a film about the rampant paedofiles in washington , and now the bbc make a film about the rampant fraud and corruption - the first was banned , the second will be (from being shown in the usa)

I sure hope someone posts this on youtube. I definitely want to see it.

If you haven't seen it yet, I also recommend watching the movie "Iraq for Sale" which is available here at ATS.

Nothing shocks me anymore about the war profiteering going on. It is just a shame that nothing has been done about it. After Bush leaves office, I imagine we will see an amazing amount of similar fraud being made public.

This is simply amazing. I can't believe our government. I think every single dollar should be tracked when it comes to stuff like this. And profit should be eliminated when it comes to a national thing err whatever. I think we waste more money because we outsource work to private companies, when we could have them ran by the government. Things like bullet proof vests and other essential things for military use made by the government not private companies.

All these damn corrupted admin should be put in jail and a serious world-wide example should be made out of them. Not only the government officials but also the companies who are getting the money from them and aren't doing their jobs.

We are so fricken greedy and its sooo pathetic.

Well I just took a look at all the Stocks for Major Defense contractors, including: Lockheed, Boeing, EG&G, DRS, KBR and Raytheon.

What did I learn from looking at 10 yr performance of these stocks?

If we have a conflict/war again, I am investing all of my money there

Yep, all of our money is sitting in the Defense Corporations.

When I got out of the Navy, I was not going to stay in when I could get out and make double if not triple...in certain locations. So thats what I did...I worked for a Major Defense contractor and doubled my salary. This is what many service men and women do now and it has become a common thing.

It feeds the giant defense industrialists....

it'd be a dream come true to meet and work with modern day Washingtons, Franklins, Adams, etc who could take our country back and return it to the path we were on that could truly enlighten this world and its inhabitants

if only those in the military would stand up to the oppressors and not follow thru with the corrupt commands being ordered we'd be in a great position in the universe

the only way i can imagine this even being possible is like someone stated earlier it must have been in cash, if not i dont see it possible to cover up 20+ billion

the fact theres any gag orders and not worldwide 24/7 coverage about this until we get the answers we deserve is an attrocity

with the money we're dealing with its basically another 9/11 if not worse

yea lots of lives were losts and this is just money

but how many lives were taken with this money how much of our future is in jeapordy now from whoever that money went to

unfortunately the only way we can be saved is if countries outside of the U.S. use their media to presure our country, unfortunatly i dont see that ever happening as its our country our money and more then likely their media is our media due to the corrupt i mean corporate ownerships.

the sad fact is not only does this 20+ billion such a big deal to us in the USA it should be equally as unnerving to the rest of the world, what corrupt parties received this money and what are the plans, something needs to be done, but what and how? if i knew itd be done
