Default U.S. officers probed on Iraq rebuilding: report

If this is true, and if these dopes are found guilty in a court of law.. need to spend the rest of their lives in Leavenworth.. this is wrong on many levels, violates the trust that is placed upon them by their military rank.

U.S. officers probed on Iraq rebuilding: report | Reuters

Quote:
NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. officials looking into irregularities in the early portion of the $125 billion U.S.-led effort to rebuild Iraq have expanded the inquiry to include senior U.S. military officers who oversaw the program, The New York Times reported on its website.

Citing senior government officials with whom it conducted interviews, as well as court documents, the Times reported that investigators had subpoenaed the personal bank records of a colonel, now retired, in charge of reconstruction contracting in Iraq in 2003 and 2004, when the operation expanded greatly in scope to repair Iraq's infrastructure.

Investigators were also examining the activities of an Air Force lieutenant colonel who was a senior contracting officer in Baghdad in 2004, the Times said citing two federal officials involved in the inquiry.

The big democrat "hate Bush issue" has been "stop the war" bring them home now "close gitmo"

The Messiah moves into the White House "DEAD SILENCE" on Iraq/Gitmo.

I don't think I have ever had a "Good Obama" day, he is just another Chicago Politician that the Loony democrats have turned into their very own "Feel Good Poster Boy"

obama isn't god, he's just another slick talking friggin poitician.

You're the only one around here who says he's God, Harry.

As to timing, prior to getting to work on the current stimulus bill, he got the ball rolling on closing Gitmo (day 1.)

While you are correct that much of the work of W's successor was destined to be the undoing of the former president's incompetence, just now he's working on giving us a shot at coming back from W's economic malfeasance rather than his foreign policy idiocy.

Patience.

It is true.... There was so much fraud (billed to the Pentagon, which happily paid) in the opening stages of Iraq, it's maddening... And undeniable...

Check out the book "Blood Money" by T. Christian Miller. ... Or just watch "Iraq for Sale" on YouTube.
