One of the great scandals of the Iraq War was not just the war itself, but what happened to the money afterwards.

Between 2003 and 2004, around $12 billion in physical cash was flown into Iraq aboard military aircraft, stacked on pallets of $100 bills and distributed in the middle of an active war zone, in what became one of the largest cash transfers in modern history. Hundreds of tonnes of cash, handed out with astonishingly little oversight.

Years later, the man tasked with investigating what happened to much of it, Special Inspector General Stuart W. Bowen Jr., was still unable to account for billions of dollars.

His investigations uncovered fraud, waste, corruption, missing records, cash distributions without receipts and reconstruction projects that consumed fortunes whilst delivering very little in return.

Even more remarkably, investigators reportedly traced between $1.2 and $1.6 billion to a bunker in Lebanon, yet no serious effort was ever made to recover the money.

Is Iraq’s new PM with Trump’s help about to reveal all of this?

Lt Bashaw was an environmental services officer. He is an expert in keeping troops safe. He stood up against the Army mandates and went through special court martial and discharge. Thank you President Trump. Mark is back on duty now as a Captain with a significant document mea cullpa from Army. Full back pay. He is again serving our country as he did for over 15 years as enlisted and officer before being discharged with a blot on his record— now fully expunged. As he told me “God called me back into the belly.” God speed Capt. Bashaw. Well done.

👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻 I was married 30 years to a Marine Harrier pilot. I don’t want to risk pilots— or anyone unneccesarily. And computers are able to respond in ways humans cannot. I get that. But thinking of the book “Enders Game” , it changes the equation of war when there is no skin— or blood— in the game. We’ll be in a world where wars are fought with buttons on computer terminals. And who controls the terminals?

Now this is very interesting. This is the building with Horus figures all over the entryway? Tunnels underground blown in 4 July?
