Democratic Congress Should Launch A Comprehensive Investigation Of Iraq War Profiteering and Iraq Oil Revenue

Damned Straight!

All assets suspected of being made by war profiteering and by oil companies through inflated gas prices should be frozen. If those assets can be proven to have been obtained through typical corporate shenanigans, they should be confiscated and put into a new fund for energy independence.

With all the money we have wasted in Iraq, we could have a Prius n every driveway.

It is accountability time.

We know that up to $10 billion of reconstruction money for Iraq has been stolen, lost or misused and now we know that virtually none of the Iraqi oil revenue, which Paul Wolfowitz promised would be used to finance the war, has been spent.

It is incredible: all of these monies should have been used to help the people of Iraq, yet much of it has lined the pockets of profiteers, or has disappeared into the ether, or sits in accounts unused. It is accountability time.
