I wonder how many times this was done and someone wasn't caught?

and you are stereotyping quite a bit here, just because they arent us citizens doesnt mean they are corrupt and idiots


Apparently you don't know me nor can you read because I said nothing blanket about my comments nor did I call them stupid.

Government in all countries is prone to bribery especially in countries as torn up as Iraq is currently.

FYI I spent more than a few years in Pakistan and Afghanistan so I have some idea of how things really work in that region. Not saying I know it all or nothing but I do have a little insight into the region.

I feel the money can do far more good here in our own country that is falling apart at the seams than it will in another country. That is my opinion and it will always be my opinion.

eh, just wanted to make sure we werent headed down a dark road

and yes i agree that the money could be put to a better use, but it had a specific use that was allocated by the government
the government that we elect to make decisions for us
if we dont like those decisions then we should change the government, not steal the money back

justifying an illegal act with a moral argument is still illegal even if it is "right"

I didn't vote for them so they made no decisions for me that I agreed with.

That's like saying all pharmacists are just pill poppers looking for easy access to meds
