We already know what happened. The money was never recovered. The U.S. spent 10 billion a month at the height of the Iraq war. ISIS came to power after we destabilized the region. And we made a whole generation of people hate us, which our politicians cite as to why we need to lose more money in the mid east.
This is the most incredible news story I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching. That guy who got tortured by Saddam Hussein twice is easily the most badass guy I’ve ever seen

Your tax? The money was Iraqi money. When US government give you money to buy military equipment, they will give you only to buy from US manufacturing businesses. Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon..etc. It's like a coupon to shop from those businesses. No money will be given to buy shity products like mobile kitchen from Hungary or Poland.
@chakur25 we used to have far more diplomacy. Hitler had camps in 1932. We didn't get involved in WWII until after Japan attacked us at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. That's nearly 10 years. The entire world knew he was committing genocide, but we didn't have enough public support behind getting involved. It was after WWII when they began developing the military industrial complex, when the OSS became the CIA and when we began classified operations intervening in foreign governmental affairs on a frequent basis. From smaller operations like testing weapons to overthrowing governments and installing leaders loyal to the US.
@@paxwebb No. Cheney is a bold leader. And what does Bush has to do with this? Some corrupt Iraqis stole Iraqi money. This was not US money. Because with US military aid, you buy only from American manufacturing businesses like Lockheed, Boeing and Raytheon. Not to buy "mobile kitchens" from Eastern European countries.
@Marcos 989 Bush senior and Jr own alot of land in Texas with oil in that land. Bush has ties in the oil market. There's definitely control of the market and other things if you follow the money and do alot of research. This is why I liked Bush Sr. He's a professional hustler, a very smart man. He got every lobbyist paid, and no one said a thing. No one is a criminal if everyone is an accomplice. This is not easy research, just an FYI.
Alex Villarejo Wall Street and the string pullers in DC see our soldiers as expendable tools. They only care about getting richer,the generals in the Pentagon are just as corrupt as Congress.
This is insane . . . He asked him where did the 800 Million dollar went, and he showed him all kind of pictures which he downloaded from google. lol . . . What a joke!!
Funny how "its sovereign Iraqi money" but when they were killing over 600 000 of them they weren't so sovereign then, huh? And I thought my country was crooked 😂 😂 😂
US envoy recruited a hustler street vendor from Europe with "good English" to be head of procurement in ministry of defense...🤣🤣😆🤣😆 Then he was send to Washington for a two weeks crush course in defense🤣😆🤣😆. Now the hustler is enjoying a swanky lifestyle in Europe🤣🤣😆🤣😆
They stole a lot more than JUST half a billion. A LOT! Not just in Trillions of finanials...lives, international relations, environment, etc., etc., etc.
And today...all those banks that laundered Russia and Chinese money into U.S. currency... will never get one day of justice.... Thank Bush family that still run America! There power is huge, The Stink!
We have homeless people here, sick people here, and even starving people here in the USA. All Americans. I’m not even talking about immigrants. Don’t forget our outdated infrastructure desperately need repair. And yet we throw billions and billions of our tax payers money to some country far far away from us who would never ever truly appreciate what we do. My question is this really good for Americans?
9:44, “45 million what????”, “not dollar, I never said dollar”, then, “what is it?”, “Oh, I don’t remember”, so, I guess he remembered that it wasn’t dollars, and that he didn’t say it, but he doesn’t remember what it was......
I'm an Iraqi and my blood boiled after 7:30. My neighbors and countrymen died so snakes like him can live a kushy life through corruption. We're all gonna face our maker one day.
Bush is a war criminal. Why arem't we talking about $2.3 TRILLION mysteriously misplaced by Pentagon . Rumsfeld announced that Pentagon cannot account for $2.3 TRILLION day before 9/11. Navy Auditors who were investigating fraud were killed when drone hit Pentagon on 9/11.
It's simple...let these countries fight their own battles. These people are in the shape they are in because they have been foolish and only know how to be foolish PERIOD
I do not understand why our tax dollars are still going to Iraq and Afghanistan. Once you get a large enough sample of life, it’s ok to judge. It’s called wisdom and reality. 10+ years of year round training from the sophisticated American military. Hundreds of billions of dollars worth of weapons, tanks, jets, helicopters, vehicles, and every military gadget. The $1+ trillion spent spending on the Iraqi and afghan society. What do you mean the afghan soldiers and Iraqi soldiers are too incompetent and we must stay forever?? Being incompetent is a personal problem.
"Gone".---? One would think the evidence would be relatively simple, by seeing who is spending this kind of money, and finding out it's sources. Only so many suspects.
No country is invincible of corruption. You give a poor country a good amount of money and it'll vanish. So instead of giving it to them the money you buy the weapons and give it to them. Don't give them money but give them the materials they need.
Give a pizza guy the responsibility of 1.2 billion dollars and expect no funds to go missing is simply insane.

How about 60 Minutes follows up on these old stories to tell the stories of what happened in the ensuing years
it would be too depressing.
Why would they do that. It would incriminate the very people the media protects.

Read about that. Was this heist the real reason for the attack on towers ?
You are delusional.
