What's $9 Billion?

According to Stuart Bowen Jr., special inspector general for Iraq reconstruction, the US occupational authority misplaced 9 billion dollars. It just disappeared.

But what's 9 billion dollars to a fiscally-conservative government running a deficit of more than 400 billion dollars?

And Folly is certain that those who disappeared this money have put it to good humanitarian purposes. That is, if you believe the adage: charity begins at home.
