Evidently the US funded the Iraq council with 1.2 billion to buy arms for the Iraqi army. The council didn't have any experience in buying arms. Someone (?) found a man with no experience so the US sent him to some school in the US and he learned his trade in 30 days.
Very little of what was purchased was as advertised. Most of the helcopters that were delivered were unsafe to fly. Some of the ammunition was so old they were afraid it would blow up.
Part of the problem of tracking the money is the paperwork on these purchases is so sketchy they don't know what they purchased or who they purchased it from.
Just one more clusterfu*k laid at the feet of Paul Bremmer.
