This article is a bit of a nothing burger. The headline says $500 mil but the article says $100 mil. And it was nationwide propaganda scheme involving far more than fake al Qaeda videos. It was an attempt to get The Iraqi people to embrace Democracy and the rule of law. Propaganda goes back thousands of years and is supposed to help garner victory. Hardly scandalous.

The fake videos were actually pretty devious. They'd make the movies then drop DVDs at places they raided. The DVDs were coded with trackers to find out where they went as supporters passed them around.

Seems like a decent war spend to me.

“the Pentagon spent at least $540 million paying Bell Pottinger for “information operations” and “psychological operations,” according to the Bureau.”

The Obama administration has failed miserably in the middle east. They are directly responsible for the increase in Muslim terrorism and the genocide against Christians.

They have spent hundreds of billions in taxpayer money funding Islamic terrorists and promoting the spread of terrorism throughout the globe.

This is just one more example of the waste, fraud, corruption and treason that have been committed by the Obama administration.
