Because it is my firm belief, from all that I have seen, heard and read, that such an audit would find the amount of wealth bled from our economy and people to be a breathtakingly stagerring sum. The Bushkies, Cheneys, CONservatives, Reactionaries, Blackwater, IAP (the contractor which took over Walter Reed)have caused a massive shift in our national treasure from the middle class into the pockets of the few, the proud, the plutocrats. Prince Ronald the Senile never explained to Americans that when he said he wanted to get "government off the backs and out the pockets" of the American people he simply wanted to replace government with big business. Aren't we all better off now to have big business on our backs and in our pockets. How about those profits by "Big Oil."

Do you believe the crap the Bush Admin feeds after so many lies? About a third of the reconstruction budget for 2003 is unaccounted for: $12 billion, (... and that's just '03). The three top auditors overseeing work in Iraq <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=2877847" rel="nofollow">told a House committee</a> their review of $57 billion in Iraq contracts found that Defense and State Department officials condoned & allowed repeated work delays, bloated expenses, payments for shoddy work & work never done. An example, the $75 million Baghdad Police Academy was so poorly built that feces and urine rained from the ceilings in student barracks. "This is the most essential civil security project in the country -- and it's a failure, the Baghdad police academy is a disaster." -Stuart W. Bowen Jr., inspector general for Iraq reconstruction. It should also be noted that no-bid war contractors like <a href="http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=topNews&storyid=2007-02-07T222949Z_01_N07471273_RTRUKOC_0_US-OPTIONS-SEC-BUSH.xml" rel="nofollow">GW Bush's Uncle Bucky</a> are profiteering $millions from the Iraq war.
