What happened to all of that money we sent to Iraq? Apparently it was used to play football with.

"Iraq was awash in cash - in dollar bills. Piles and piles of money," says Frank Willis, a former senior official with the governing Coalition Provisional Authority. "We played football with some of the bricks of $100 bills before delivery. It was a wild-west crazy atmosphere, the likes of which none of us had ever experienced."

The environment created by the coalition positively encouraged corruption. "American law was suspended, Iraqi law was suspended, and Iraq basically became a free fraud zone," says Alan Grayson, a Florida-based attorney who represents whistleblowers now trying to expose the corruption. "In a free fire zone you can shoot at anybody you want. In a free fraud zone you can steal anything you like. And that was what they did."

This is the result of what happens when there are no grown-ups in charge. This sounds just like what I would expect a pack of teenage boys to act like when given responsibility with no supervision.

George Bush, the eternal frat boy, created an atmosphere where there were no consequences or clear objectives. Is it any wonder that we lost billions and billions of dollars.

And now today our country faces unconquerable debt and an out of control deficit. And the answer to those problems is to raise the amount that we can go into debt? There is no one taking responsibility here!

So to add to my theory that George is lacking in the manhood department we can now add that he is also saddled with an immature pre-adolescent outlook on the world.

Essentially he is a child playing with big boy toys.

On his ranch he gets to play cowboy, with the war he gets to play soldier, he likes to ride his bike, he doesn't really underestand money yet, he is still trying to earn his mommy's love, and he has trouble telling the truth especially if he is afraid he might get into trouble.

Good for you America, you voted for an eight year old!
