If Georgie needs more money for his war

Why doesn't he just get it back from the mercenaries who can't remember what they did with it?:
(CNN) -- The U.S. State Department is unable to account for most of $1.2 billion in funding that it gave to DynCorp International to train Iraqi police, a government report said Tuesday.

"The bottom line is that State can't account for where it went," said Glenn D. Furbish, who was involved in putting together the 20-page report for the special inspector general for Iraq reconstruction (SIGIR).

The Department of State's Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) "did not have the information needed to identify what DynCorp provided under the contract or how funds were spent," the report said.

As a result, the audit agency announced it has suspended its oversight of the agency's project until INL gathers the information.

"Their records are just not detailed," Furbish said Monday in a telephone interview. "From an audit perspective, we've identified the problem; they're working to rectify the problem."

They are working to rectify the problem? Uh huh. Riiiiiiight.

We want our money back.

The amazing thing is that, they are saying it will take YEARS to reconcile the bills. That is no way to run a business.

The business of gutting the treasury? It's been brilliant.

I want my money back.
