re: More than $600 million in cash from Iraqi oil money was spent with insufficient controls. Senior U.S. officials manipulated or misspent contract money. Millions of dollars' worth of equipment could not be located, the report said.

Great. We invade and occupy their country (killing 10,000++ civilians), we seize their oil revenue, we use the proceeds for "reconstruction" most of which is stuff we destroyed, and then we find that the contracts are scams to enrich the contracting companies.

Had Bush been smart which, of course, is an oxymoron, he should have quit at the shock and awe and toppling Saddam part of the war. Instead, they forged ahead and made one bonehead mistake after the next. The whole thing would be funny if it weren't for the fact that the American taxpayer is picking up the tab for all his on-the-job training.

And then he has the cojones to run for president again. His arrogance knows no bounds.
