George W. Bush Sent on Airplane Pallets of Dollars to Iraq

The authorities in Baghdad, Iraq, have even failed to get the electric grid working better in Baghdad than in Kurdistan, despite some $28 billion dollars allotted for the electricity grid between 2004 and 2012.

Between 2003 and 2006, tens of billions of US taxpayer money sent to Iraq -- often on huge airplane pallets stacked high with shrink-wrapped $100 bills -- simply disappeared after being transferred to the Iraqi government.

In one particular case in 2010, US investigators even located a bunker in rural Lebanon containing some $1.5 billion dollars in cash and $300 million in gold stolen from the Iraqi treasury.
