Iraqi money cannot be accounted for by occupying forces responsible for the funds, according to two new reports.
Discrepancies are highlighted in the handling of $20bn (£11bn) generated from Iraq's oil and other sources since war ended last year.

The Coalition Provisional Authority was given responsibility for the country's finances by the United Nations.

The UN stressed that money in the Development Fund for Iraq must be shown to be used in Iraq's best interests.

It was understood that all revenues would be paid into a central fund.

Criticism

But both the charity Christian Aid and the Liberal Democrats are now criticising the CPA, saying no audit of how the money was used had been carried out until April of this year - two months before the handover of power.

Christian Aid described the information regarding the allocation of money as "woefully inadequate".

I'm sorry, but we have no idea what you're talking about.

You had your chance to join Big Brother under the National Party for the American Gestapo, but you refused.

"Iraqi oil missing"? Damn conspiracy theorist. We all know Iraq never even had any oil to begin with...it was all a mere Democrat/liberal lie to make America look bad.

"Civilians dying"? What "civilians"? Every Muslim is an anti-American terrorist and is thus a target! Besides, didn't Saddam Hussein kill, like, forty-five million babies...therefore, there was nobody even living in Iraq as of five years ago! Now, how does it feel to have your whole theory go down the drain?

I'm sorry, but how dare you criticize the foreign policy of His Lordship, George Bush, appointed by God, for life under the stars and heaven! I have no choice but to report you to the Council of un-American Activities, you damned terrorist.

I bet you're one of those mosque-attending people, too! You know who I'm talking about, those people with the towels around their heads or something...ya know, I forget what they're called, but you know what I'm getting at!

It must be the money the UN stole to prop-up some third world dictatorship.
