C-130 Hercules haul cash to Iraq...$6.6 billion missing
Pentagon officials determined that one giant C-130 Hercules cargo plane could carry $2.4 billion in shrink-wrapped bricks of $100 bills. They sent an initial full planeload of cash, followed by 20 other flights to Iraq by May 2004 in a $12-billion haul that U.S. officials believe to be the biggest international cash airlift of all time.

lets buy some WMD from them, I'm sure GW can make a deal......
That si U.S. Military airlift for you, that shipment will proably appear in the Middway Islands before they realize the mess up, then take another 6 months to get it in the area, and 1 more month to get it there
LOL
LOL
the question begs to be asked - WHY - if the the good old USA thought that IRAQ was the instigator of the 911, was this payment for mission accomplished or was it a prepayment for damages to be incurred during the forthcoming war with IRAQ ? this really smells bad; but than compared to 3 trillion $s spent at a whim is peanuts
aww they lost 2.4 billion? no biggie! that's only 7 times more than public broadcasting receives each year... we better defund them! we're going broke you know!
Whats wrong with a check or Western Union?
