Lousy Bookkeeping

Lousy bookkeeping by US forces has meant that there is a $5.2BN black hole in the accounts of the Iraqi security forces. Equipment and services allegedly supplied, at the cost of $5.2BN, to the Iraqi forces cannot be proven.

The Multinational Security Transition Command in Iraq cannot prove that the money was used for its intended results and not wasted.

That is no way to run a budget or a country.
