Uh oh....
I hope it's God and not Homeland Security. Or are they God now? Can't tell.
And I know what the SACRED BULL has been up to..
"Audit: Pentagon Can’t Account for 95% of $9B of Iraq Reconstruction Funds
A new government audit has revealed the Pentagon cannot account for over 95 percent of some $9 billion spent in reconstruction funds in Iraq between 2004 and 2007. In its report, the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction accused the Pentagon of lax oversight and weak controls of money in the Development Fund for Iraq. The report stated, "The breakdown in controls left the funds vulnerable to inappropriate uses and undetected loss."

It's been eating all our money and getting fatter and fatter. I wonder when it starts to eat up the children's houses? Oh, I'm sorry; I forgot! It's already done that. duh..
And this, well, this just breaks the heart:
A Quote of Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio)from DemocracyNow!:
"Wake up, America! WikiLeaks’ release of secret war documents gave us 92,000 reasons to end the wars. Pick one. Wake up, America! Main Street is falling apart, businesses have closed, bankruptcies abound. People are losing their jobs, their homes, losing their retirement security. The middle class is falling apart. Workers’ rights are not being protected. The government’s out of money. There’s not even money for childhood nutrition!"
Thank you Representative Kucinich. Thank you DemocracyNow!. And we ALL can't just be "Cranky Socialistic Bully Pulpit Pundits", either. That's ridiculous. In fact it's infantile to go on that tract.
I can't believe that "they" are going to get away with 8 billion dollars, just tossed off the edge of a cliff.
ReplyDeleteActually, I can believe that "they" will.
Actually, I've written this reply three times now, and I can't wrap my head around how to express all the things that should be expressed. In more than four letters.
Aye, four letters..
ReplyDeleteIt's Frakking painful isn't it.
It sucks a lot of the joy right out of life, and frankly, I think it was planned that way. They, the perps of this theft think of us as cash cows, and want us to be shell shocked into massively mooing at each other in horror.
