Maybe it will have something to do with those nukes at Incirlik air base?

Didn't plants fly into buildings the last time this happened?

And I'm leaving the spelling error since it reminds me of whales and plants fighting gravity.

First of all the article is a bunch of Crap. The main problem with the DOD is that it is a convenient slush fund for the politicians to hide all kinds of crap expenditures in. Perfect example is the Department of Veterans affairs. It is under the DOD yet it spent over 250 million in the last 10 years for ART WORK providing income to 10,000 artists of dubious quality. How many weapons systems that are obsolete or just plain don't work has the pentagon been forced to buy because it provides jobs to some powerful congressman's district. What about the hundreds of millions of dollars spent trying to mainstream women, trans genders etc into the combat units when then isn't a fucking woman around that can carry 120 lbs of battle rattle for 30 miles in 10 hours which is a requirement for light infantry. (Airborne, mountain infantry divisions). So if there is no audit its because the Congress doesn't want one because if there were a whole bunch of congressman's pet projects that are nothing but jobs programs would go into the crapper.

You DO know that the "art world" is 95% money laundering, right? Some artists just get lucky and are pushed in to popularity to justify the fat price tags, once the "buyers" start using them as blackmarket currency.
That $250m was, almost assuredly, payoffs.

Careful. Last time we lost that much money 3 buildings got knocked down in new york. Go google it. Donald rumsfeld announced 2 trillion missing from pentagon 9/10

They absolutely know where it went. The problem is it went to something so illegal and so distasteful that claiming they were incompetent enough to lose $6.5 trillion was preferable to admitting the truth.

Yeah, they don't even make up lies like $500 hammers anymore to try to conceal it.
All I can say is there better damn well be a Stargate program.

Well, that part isn't exactly a lie either...

did someone say "money laundering"?
[–] RonaldMcShitlord 0 points 8 points 8 points (+8|-0) ago
What I don't understand though is how that much could even be spent without it being visible. $6.5 trillion buys a hell of a lot of toys. You could literally build one thousand Nimitz-class aircraft carriers with that much money and still have a few bucks left over to spare. How could anyone spend that kind of money without it being noticed that all this extra stuff was being purchased?
