$2.3 Trillion Defense Dollars Went Missing & Has Never Been Found

Remember what Dwight Eisenhower said about the Military Industrial Complex- it has to be watched closely. Well, it has not been watched at all - kinda hard to do when they can hide behind the label "classified". The Democrats hate the military I've always heard, but I've never heard how the the Republicans hate waste in the military. I guess they don't, my suspicion is that's where some of them have their honey pots.

Here's Robert Byrd asking Donald Rumsfeld how you can loose 2.3 Trillion dollars. Kinda pathetic response.




Here's the CBS report:





Just something else to make you go hmmmm...
