In the Holy Fucking Shit department, we have a news story that has – shockingly – not made the rounds on Fox News or CNN.

The Independent takes a calculator, and puts the cost of Iraq War fraud safely in the $120-billion-plus range. That’s only the fraud by military contractors and actual staff, and is only the first cut. We *were* welcomed as liberators – of taxpayer cash.

I’d like to find some wonderful analogy or alternative use of that much money, but I’m too busy trying not to throw up.

Hello? Fox News? Rush? Did your AP news feed stop working?
