Sen. Byron Dorgan: Iraq Waste, Fraud, & Abuse

This is a small clip of a hearing before the U.S. Senate Committee on Appropriations, March 11, 2008. Senator Byron Dorgan (D-ND), one of the best in Congress on tracing the total fleecing of the U.S. taxpayer in Iraq drives home: "For 5 years Congress has done a miserable job of oversight", ..., "It is the greatest waste, fraud, and abuse in the history of this country, I'm convinced." It would be good if every taxpayer saw just these few minutes of Sen. Dorgan explaining how big the Iraq fraud has been. For example, he shows a fancy embroidered KBR towel that reveals the arrogance of the Iraq occupation and contempt for the American taxpayer.

This is a national embarrasment, and the GOP needs to get off it's ASS and vote to re-establish the Truman Committee IMMEDIATELY! If something doesn't happen soon, I will be revoking my membership in the republican party, and putting my vote towards a more ethical party.

What money are they talking about? All our taxes are used to pay on just the interest of the staggering loans from other countries that the US hasn't the capacity or the ethics to repay. The money talked about here is just paper currency being printed on orders from the traitors at the Federal Reserve Bank, a bank that is privately owned by The Rothschilds family in England who absolutely could care less about America and it's citizens.

I would strongly suggest you register as NPA. I did so myself in 2002 because neither party has any ethics whatsoever.
