it didn't go to acorn, it was the previous administration's practice of allowing anyone with an idea for building something in iraq to walk up and get money for it that caused this. that was LOGCAP 1-2. We're in LOGCAP 4(?) rules now, and it doesn't work like that anymore.
what's surprising is that we're complaining about 9 billion lost dollars. this is a trillion dollar war. that's 0.9% of the money in iraq was lost. there is no mention of the 990 other billion dollars that have been spent, or even the loss of life.
