Daily News @ http://RevolutionNews.US — (MSNBC) Cenk Uygur finds it Unbelievable that billions were stolen yet he's never reported the $2.3 TRILLION missing from the pentagon!
Young Turks have never covered this story either... WTF?

(CBS) On Sept. 10, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld declared war. Not on foreign terrorists, "the adversary's closer to home. It's the Pentagon bureaucracy," he said.
He said money wasted by the military poses a serious threat.
"In fact, it could be said it's a matter of life and death," he said.
Rumsfeld promised change but the next day -- Sept. 11-- the world changed and in the rush to fund the war on terrorism, the war on waste seems to have been forgotten.
Just last week President Bush announced, "my 2003 budget calls for more than $48 billion in new defense spending."
More money for the Pentagon, CBS News Correspondent Vince Gonzales reports, while its own auditors admit the military cannot account for 25 percent of what it spends.
"According to some estimates we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions," Rumsfeld admitted.
$2.3 trillion — that's $8,000 for every man, woman and child in America. To understand how the Pentagon can lose track of trillions, consider the case of one military accountant who tried to find out what happened to a mere $300 million.

Doesn't the Pentagon have offsite backups for its records?

Ahhhh another 9/11 coincidence, yes they lost $2.3 trillion and then the next day a plane slams into the office where the financial records of the pentagon are kept or another good one is building 7 where the securities and exchange was housed, that kept the files of corporate fraud. How naive do you have to be to buy this crap, unbelievable.

@AngieMom57 Not really. With the moronic public calls the insurance company bail out called "Obama Care" "Socialism" do you really think the public will pay attention when they loose that money too? They'll find an excuse to "loose that money" in programs that steal civil liberties under the healthcare mantra too.
