State Dept oversight? You must be joking, sir.
According to a pair of reports coming out today, the oversight oversight is no joke, and as usual it is costing the taxpayers lots of money.
A State Department review of its own security practices in Iraq assails the department for poor coordination, communication, oversight and accountability involving armed security companies like Blackwater USA, according to people who have been briefed on the report. In addition to Blackwater, the State Department’s two other security contractors in Iraq are DynCorp International and Triple Canopy.So, Condi can't handle the Iraqis or anyone else in the Middle East, can't handle Pootie Poot, can't handle Cheney/Adderington by herself and now we find out that she can't run the State Dept. But she sure can shop.
At the same time, a government audit expected to be released Tuesday says that records documenting the work of DynCorp, the State Department’s largest contractor, are in such disarray that the department cannot say “specifically what it received” for most of the $1.2 billion it has paid the company since 2004 to train the police officers in Iraq.
