"A BBC investigation estimates that around $23bn (£11.75bn) may have been lost, stolen or just not properly accounted for in Iraq."
--------------------------- ----------------------
"Henry Waxman who chairs the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform said: "The money that's gone into waste, fraud and abuse under these contracts is just so outrageous, its egregious.

"It may well turn out to be the largest war profiteering in history."
--------------------------- --------------------------- -------
In the run up to the invasion one of the most senior officials in charge of procurement in the Pentagon objected to a contract potentially worth seven billion that was given to Halliburton, a Texan company, which used to be run by Dick Cheney before he became vice-president.

Unusually only Halliburton got to bid - and won."

Ok so Obama won the nomination, this was expected for months now; the question now is so what now? People have been so wrapped up in the Clinton-Obama battle as if it were the actual election battle, while most people simply ignored McLame.
