Comments on: Senators Demand Audit Of Iraq Oil Revenue

After U.S. Invests Billions In Reconstruction, GAO Asked To Investigate Where Revenues Have Gone

There is a good possibility that the Bushwacker will be in jail before his term. If the Senate uncovers this scam and they can connect the Bush dynasty to kickbacks, the White House will be overthrown. But that is MOUNTAIN of government corruption to mow-down. Yet with Congressional litigation, its possible that the Bush corruption can be brought to its knees and face justice - hopefully place the U.S. Supreme Court in colusion.

LOL! I just have to wonder what Islamic country this man is living in that has a teenager addicted to crack running for president? That would have to be one heck of a liberal Islamic country. Kind of a paradox of sorts.

Thats right barbara. Looks like America will have only 2 choices to pick the next president: A war hero (McCain) or an inexperienced Arab-Muslim-teenager crack&marijuana confessed user named HUSSEIN OSAMA.

You are such a bigot--afraid a new president might investigate the Pentagon?

But there is no one like that to vote for. What country are you in?

[alphaa10-2009]

Why hasn''t anyone on the Bush watch bothered to check how much oil money is being "diverted"-- all while America pays $8+ billion monthly to keep the Iraq war going?

Not that Bush people would have many of the facts at hand. Bush''s President for Vice, D-i-c-k Cheney, once promised the Iraqis "... will greet us as liberators"-- only a sample of his comic-book-level delusions and deceit about Iraq.

If anyone has the actual oil sales information, he probably understands why Iraqi corruption easily matches the level of Afghanistan. For his part, Bush cringes at the thought of an audit. Halliburton, for example, simply walked off the job, despite being paid for most of its no-bid, $9 billion reconstruction contract. (No investigation, however, has been launched by the Bush DOJ)

In such a reign of neglect, Iraqis regard their corruption as a vital necessity. After all, who in the Green Zone is managing domestic order effectively?

Immediately after the fall of Saddam, Iraqis soon enough realized they were on their own. There were no regular truck convoys of food and other relief for the starving and injured citizens of Baghdad-- only swarms of US Army vehicles around the Oil Ministry, erecting barbed wire.

While mobs of looters ran in the streets, Rumsfeld turned a blind eye to that inconvenient fact, and a replacement for Saddam''s rogue state began to emergeunder the very noses of the American occupiers. And now, after five years, Bush tells us the oil revenue is missing.

Funny. Limbaugh said they would come down after invading Iraq.

I am not convinced that voting for a Democrat is much better.

Why doesn''t congress just go home for good. Not one of these "investigations" or hearing or what ever they want to call them will help America. It''s all window dressing. Make the sheep think they really care. Bull! It''s big business that supports them from their running to their retirement. 300,000,000 people are just something they have to put up with until their golden parachute opens.

[sanfelz]

Under the Bush/Cheney administration, big business has more rights, the American citizen has less rights. Big business has increasingly been less regulated, the American citizen more regulated. Business has grown its wealth, the American citizen is financially stressed.
If we want to take advantage of our tax dollars, we should move to Iraq or be employed by a multinational.

olebd do not be an idiot Iraq had nothing to do with this its Haliburtin and other Republican a hole brought in by Bush.

I bet we''ll see many different hands in the cookie jar with this one. Bush, Cheney, Iraqi leaders, girls that slept with all of them, you name it. That is, IF the media will LET us hear the real story.

And Pelosi and her thugs still have NOTHING to show for the BILLIONS they have spent since seizing power in the Congress.....

Get used to the back of the bus ringy!! A majority of 1 is not a majority when voting! Your hero''s have F*k''d us good. In 62 years I can''t recall such a joke as this present admin.

[ringading3]

Gas prices will come down when we drill for oil in the eastern Gulf of Mexico and on the West Coast of America.

[ringading3]

And Pelosi and her thugs still have NOTHING to show for the BILLIONS they have spent since seizing power in the Congress. Oh, I forgot that they found out some ball players might have taken drugs.

[bm6005]

I don''''t know where the oil revenues have gone but I''''m sure that a lot of Republicans are getting filthy rich off of it.

If there is any BS going on (financially) by anyone, find the guilty parties and hang them!! Repubs,Dems,Indepe....it doesn''t matter. Send these thieves a message!

[olebd]

Might I add my laptop keyboard and my ability to proof read before I post really stink sometimes.

[olebd]

I hope we find out this has something to do with the main reason why gas prices in the U.S. are so high. The agai, they probably wwon''t find anything amiss. Iraq and their cronies have had plenty of time to cover their tracks.

[creeper00]

Of course we''ve been scr*wed. Again. And again.

Thanks, Dubya. Hope your buddies are enjoying their wealth.

The Administration will claim Executive Privilege again and dodge another legal showdown. We keep seeing legal challenges only to have them fade into time with no action or results. Congress will have to go off and pout some more unless some would ban together, step up and not be shouted down on these issues. I don''t think there''s enough "Spine" in the Capital. "God Speed USA"
