Tell me again about freedom and democracy when we won't even allow people to talk about what Congressman Waxman says "may well turn out to be the largest war profiteering in history." The BBC had program last night about the missing billions though the YouTube video currently has some audio problems. (I'm going to assume that it's a normal problem and nothing more but check the link and maybe it will be fixed soon.)
Since this is John McCain's war and he speaks so highly of Iraq, we ought to insist that he helps shed light on this situation. If he's so eager to slash budgets and give away tax breaks to everyone, surely we could use these missing billions to cover the troubled US budget. This also raises the question of how little oversight McCain has provided during his obsession with this war. Was he asleep at these meetings too or does he simply not give a damn that US taxpayer money is being lost by the billion in Iraq? If McCain is not asking questions now, we can expect a gagging order to continue in his 3rd Bush term.
