Can you find the missing 8.7 billion dollars the Pentagon was supposed to be managing? That’s the amount of money in a batch that auditors have announced the U.S. military has lost track of in Iraq.
What did Congress do yesterday to deal with the problem? It voted to send the Pentagon tens of billions of additional dollars. Sure, this money hasn’t brought us the kind of victory we promised, but then, what do we have to lose? (besides the money, I mean)
