War as a Scam
Iraq continues to be a source of embarrassment, to say the least, to the U.S. Through the years that the Americans were there full-time, there were reports of mismanagement of funds allocated for the reconstruction of the country and charges that a lot of projects were never completed. In short, Iraq had become a "black hole" of American taxpayers' money going into the pockets of a handful of private contractors.
A recent audit reveals just how big that hole is. There are $2 billion unaccounted for, and nobody seems to know what happened. So, now that the Iraqi government has been left to fend for itself, it has no idea of how, in what and where all that money was spent, as well as what it should do with those incomplete projects.
Should we be surprised at this turn of events? Not really. These American interventions are a scam to make money out of the U.S. Treasury. First, there is the destruction; then comes the reconstruction by a select group of private companies, and tons of money are paid without decent bookkeeping. It's just another way of making money as part of the "American way of business."
