(An) audit released Thursday by Stuart Bowen Jr., the special inspector general for Iraq reconstruction, is the first to list in one place the series of mistakes, delays and missed opportunities in a four-year-old Iraq war and reconstruction effort that has cost taxpayers nearly $400 billion.
Characterizing the U.S. effort as chaotic and poorly managed, Bowen found the Bush administration's rebuilding effort riddled with problems - from a lack of strategy and unclear lines of authority to confusion and disarray between the Defense and State Departments. Four hundred BILLION dollars. That's 400,000,000,000.00 dollars. Over a 4 year period, that comes to over a quarter of a Billion dollars a day. $11 1/2 million an hour. Nearly $200,000 a minute. More than $3,000 every SECOND. And that's not counting the lives and limbs of all the soldiers and civilians wasted. Wasted because of the arrogance and incompetence of this administration.
With 300 million Americans, that comes to $1,333 each, for every man, woman and child in this country. What could you do with that money? If all I'm going to do is blow it up, oh what a 4th of July I'd have!
I'll take mine in cash, please
