George W. Bush is in denial. Someone should tell him that the war is running out of control, that his soldiers are running amok and that those returning from Iraq are mental wrecks. Or maybe Bush doesn't care at all. He is willing to spill blood for oil. Reconstruction? Forget it!
Guardian: "At the start of the Iraq war, around $23bn-worth of Iraqi money was placed in the trusteeship of the US-led coalition by the UN. The money, known as the Development Fund for Iraq and consisting of the proceeds of oil sales, frozen Iraqi bank accounts and seized Iraqi assets, was to be used in a 'transparent manner', specified the UN, for 'purposes benefiting the people of Iraq'.
For the past few months we have been working on a Guardian Films investigation into what happened to that money. What we discovered was that a great deal of it has been wasted, stolen or frittered away."
