i believe the money was simply money, belonging to the usa tax payers and in the possession of the us officialdom, used as a part of the invasion order of battle, but mishandled at point of destination

this amount, in cash, is on top of the half a billion usa aid that went missing via iraqi treasury by way of bogus military equipment contracts.

the money, at least in part, must have ended up in unfriendly hands, and now used to replenish the weapons used against the humvees and helicopters

Well, if it was Iraq's money, which is now gone, that may explain why ever more money is needed from US taxpayers to "fund" the Iraq adventure. Iraq on its own, considering all that has transpired, cannot survive without US financial support. I'm afraid Iraq will be on the US welfare list for years to come in spite of her oil wealth. And that presupposes that Iraq will hold together as one country.
