OK, I had a long day. Maybe I misread or misunderstood. Does that say that we shipped them $10 billion in cash??!!!!

Be it cash, debit, credit, or with an IOU, it's money we can't afford to waste sitting in a recession...

I am just baffled that we actually sent cash. Like literally big bundles of cash. I guess I was a bit misled in my assumption that when we give economic aide we don't literally load up a big boat full of cash and send it over.
What's more, who is the idiot that had the bright idea to send $10 billion in cash to a war torn, poverty stricken, corrupt, lawless country in the first place?
And how do you lose $6.6 billion in cash? Do you realize how big of a stack of $100 bills that is? It could probably fill a military cargo plane. You can't just misplace that!
EDIT: Oh! And did they send $100 bills? I ask because I live in America and it is nearly impossible to get anybody to take a $100 bill anymore. Where the heck do you break a $100 in Iraq??!!!
EDIT again: HOLY COW!! I just did the math on it. No way that money was "misplaced". $6.6 billion dollars weights 145,374 pounds or 72.68 tons. And that is assuming they sent $100 bills.Last edited by duane1969; 10-27-2011 at 09:15 PM.

Did any of you actually read the article?? If you did, you really need to work on your comprehension skills. If you didn't, try reading it.
