Damn good question. We know a small part of it goes to fuel Iraq itself, but their internal hassles with getting more than a few hours of electricity a day are largely because the Oil Ministry won't play nice with the Electricity ministry, and begrudges them oil. And that only accounts for a little.

So it would be challenging to demand a transparent accounting of the money being spent there by the US and the money being spent, or hoarded, or siphoned off, by the Iraqis from oil revenue. I'd really like to see that spreadsheet.

Jaysus what an idiotic bunch of swampmud this Administration has tangled us up in.
