Are any other sources reporting this?

I ask because this story sounds a little like the movie 3 kings with George Clooney.

Saddam no doubt had cash stashes for emergencies. They were considered the spoils of war and looted. Myself I'd be surprised if Cheney were dumber enough to deposit them somewhere that would be directly incriminating.

That the US backdoor financed people it once thought were good for them is no secret.

In the 90s something called Treasurygate occurred that escaped the purview of not only the MSM but also the conspiracy network.

A renegade Indonesian executive turned up in Texas asking an oilman to help him cash huge off the books US Treasury Bonds that had turned up in his country, which was once considered a safe haven for such transactions.

Names like Idi Amin, Mubarak, and other recognizable names were on these Bonds. One was made out to Saddam Hussein for $33 Billion. Never to be cashed and the US would deny liability if it was ever presented.

The US swooped in and grabbed these notes, so we'll never know if they were for real or not.

My guess is they were issued to humour one time US front men with no intention to ever make good on them.

This is the same guy who reported a coup within the Air Force against Bush a few years back.

Madsen probably comes across stories that have some merit, now and then.

But he's just become another guy now trying to outdo the competition with even bigger hotter stories to get more subscriptions.

There's a waiting audience for this stuff, and they are willing to buy into any story that conforms to their expepctations.

Cheney as the Great Mastermind Real Power Behind the Throne is always popular.

Why would Dick Cheney need to steal a bunch of money to keep his political friends working on his "secret agenda". Cheney has some of the richest friends in the world. Do you really think he is going to be so dumb as to do something like hide a bunch of money in secret accounts? He knows for a fact the government uncovers stuff like that. He is one of the guys that put in place the means to uncover that info about terrorists and criminals.

Thank God Cheney is standing up and pointing out some of the flaws in the Obama administrations handling of things.

There was a short story jst days after the US and allied forces went into Iraq, now impossible to find, that described millions of documents the UN and allied forces found that listed all the companies worldwide - US and others included that were involved with building various WMD infrastructures and materials that Saddam and his government were using that when found, a US team went in and isolated this document treasure from any other group. This data and information was gleened and redacted before passing out the remaining cleaned documents to the UN and allied forces several weeks later.

I would love to see the list, monies exchanged , countries, persons and communications on that !!

I received an e-mail the other day.
Evidently, all this cash remains in Iraq. A marine sgt. claims he contacted me because I am trustworthy enough to receive a package containing $26.5M, to hold until he comes state-side. All I have to do is send my particulars...

Sorry, I do not buy into all the claims of the vast amount of "booty" commandeered...

Wow. I get African bank executives offering me millions and all I have to do is pay a nominal transaction fee.

There was looting in Iraq in the chaos after the ousting of Saddam. Tragically much of it involved stealing and selling archeological artifacts worth a fortune on black markets.

The Americans would have had to be quick in beating out Iraqis in locating Saddam's hidden stashes of cash and valuables.

Stories will continue to emerge. Some of them may even be true.
