The Pentagon "Lost" $2.3T in One Year under Rumsfielf

"whoever's" pathological hatred of the Bush Administration has destroyed his ability to think logically.

Rumsfield, in office for 8 months, states that $2.3 trillion, with a T, in transactions over some number of years cannot be tracked.

"whoever" then implies that President Bush, Rumsfield, and perhaps others have absconded with $2.3 trillion, with a T, when the total Federal Budget for that year was $1.8 trillion, with a T, and the Pentagon Budget was only $300 billion, with a B.

 

Of course, this is the same guy who has the lamebrained theory that Bush intentionally killed 3,000 Americans at 9/11.

When someone has such a complete break from reality to that extent...why should we expect any rational posts?

 

But one of these days, one of these days, he's gonna knock one right out of the park.

 

The money probably went into black ops. Maybe the secret space program or underground cities. <G>

 

Yeah, but it will be a foul ball. :tongue3:

 

You presented a collage on You Tube that was sheer nonsense. You presented some information from CBS quoting Rumsfield. Then you distorted the information you presented to make it appear that President Bush, Rumsfield, and unknowns had absconded with the entire Federal Budget + an additional 25% during the 8 months that Bush had been in office. Your pathological hatred of Bush is unChristian and indicates that you need to have a series of counseling sessions with a qualified individual.

 

Or maybe an exorcism ?

 

Spot on!!! Ain't holding my breath though!

 

"whoever", start a poll and see who is delusional and needs professional help! You cannot deal with the truth. Only someone who is delusional would believe they could steal more money out of their piggy bank than it contains.

Furthermore, your irrational hatred of President Bush and other members of the Forum indicates that you need spiritual help.

But they are rationed.
They are rationed in Current Events, Politics, and in some instances, General Topics.
Oh....I'm sorry....you meant intelligent, thoughtful ideas.
I'm going to take up for Alatide here. What do you expect from a school-age girl borrowing her daddy's computer.
Leave Alatide alone! I'm sure one of these days she will be on her own and will have to learn to fend for herself. One can only learn through trials and tribulations.
Let's give her a break.

 

The person who calls himself "alatide" [ I call him/her "whoever" because he/she appears to have been on the Forum under a different name.] started a thread in which he/she accuses the Secretary of Defense, Rumsfield, of stealing $2.3 trillion in 2001. That sum is about 25% more than the entire Federal budget for that year as has been repeatedly pointed out to "whoever". In a later post "whoever" references a Pentagon web site which carries a speech by Rumsfield to the Pentagon employees:

http://www.defenselink.mil/speeches/speech.aspx?speechid=430.

In that speech Rumsfield mentions the inability of the Defense Department to track $2.3 trillion dollars in transactions, apparently over a number of years. The purpose of Rumsfield's speech is to state that the inability to track that money is unacceptable and that the Pentagon must change the way that it conducts business. If anyone has ever been involved in any contracting with the Federal government they will have some idea of what Rumsfield is talking about.

"whoever", because of his pathological hatred of President Bush, states that $2.3 trillion dollars was stolen in 2001. As I stated above that sum is 25% more than the entire Federal budget for 2001. Numerous people have pointed out to "whoever" the illogic of his OP, all to no avail.

I have stated that "whoever's" pathological hatred of President Bush has apparently made him delusional since he continues to insist he is correct. Now it is possible that "whoever" is just jerking everyone around. It is also possible that he needs professional help and I have sincerely suggested he seek it.

Furthermore, it is apparent that "whoever" consistently exhibits a less than Christian attitude towards those who do not share his hatred of Bush and his love of Obama. I have suggested that perhaps he needs spiritual help.

Whether "whoever" is just jerking us around or whether he really needs help I don't know. However, I will no longer respond to any of his posts or participate in any OP he initiates.

 

come on folks...now this is getting ridiculous...

 

Wait - first you said that the money was stolen by Rumsfield et al.

Then you said that Rumsfield lost the money.

Now you say that the money couldn't be accounted for.

I notice that your position keeps changing and that you keep sidetracking to different issues as you are shown to be in error.

I would suggest that you start to read first.

Then think about what your read.

Then read it again.

Then think about it again - before you post.

It may save you some embarassment in the future.
