Bill Clinton was on Al Franken's radio show on Friday. Clinton brought up a good point: notice the Congress has been all over the UN's oil-for-food program, demanding investigations and reforms, and yet we hear not a peep about the missing $8.8 billion in Iraq. Where's the outcry in Congress for getting to the bottom of what happened to nearly $9 billion dollars? After all, we have a $400+ bil. deficit (not counting the MANY billions spent on Iraq), every billion helps.
Can you imagine what the Republicans would be doing if a Dem-controlled Congress and/or Presidency managed to lose track of $9 bil.?? It would be pound-the-table indignation blaring from talk radio, FOX, etc.
