I'd like to point out that this is NOT US taxpayer's money!
The news report says the money is missing from the "Development Fund for Iraq", which consists of "proceeds from Iraqi oil sales, frozen assets from foreign governments and surplus from the U.N. Oil-for-Food (search) program". Now, I'm sure there's *some* money involved that can be traced back to US citizens (oil-for-food program and oil sales), but that's hardly worth mentioning.
This makes the thread title rather misleading. Furthermore, it says preciously little about the US federal government's ability to keep track of it's money...
