$8B unaccounted for under just the CPA's short rule. That's not even going into the non-compete (which should be illegal under government rules) contracts and the regular contracts.

I think the latest estimate is $1 T for Iraq/Afghanistan when all is said and done. I think if we include Iran, we're looking at a permanent state of bankruptcy especially as our trade deficit keeps growing at the same time.

We will eventually have to sell off assets to foreigners.
