We suck and we know it!

It would seem that the US State Department recognises that it is incapable of managing or controlling the "security" companies it employs in Iraq. An audit, due to be released shortly, is to tell us that the records associated with the State Department's 1.2 billion USD (that's $1,200,000,000.00*) contract with DynCorp to train the Iraqi police are so paid it is impossible to tell what service have or have not been received.

This is running the government like a business? Just what kind of business did they have in mind?




*Note: at current exchange rates 1.2 billion USD is enough to buy me roughly 231 million pints of London Pride!
