I am more inclined to believe it really was 2.3 BILLION not Trillion .. you cannot "loose" trillions .. it's far to vast of a number. But you can loose Billions within a budget of Trillions. It's like if you had a hundred dollars, and you lost 75 dollars... you'd notice. but if you lost a Dollar, it's like meh, I got 99 more.

But who knows... I guess it's possible, I just don't think "trillion" is plausible.

In the first video, at around 1:00, Rumsfeld says "We cannot track $2.3 Trillion dollars in transactions" and emphasizes the word trillion then right after that the CBS person narrating says "Trillion with a T". I think that pretty much says that they meant trillion and not billion.

But, I agree with you, you can't "lose" $2.3 trillion, you'd know where you spent it right? Even though the inspector general couldn't find it... that's pretty much the point here. Illegal funding, not appropriated by Congress, equal to at least the legally authorized defense budget.

Did you remember this story?

I don't think very many Americans do remember it...

Just to keep the record straight, the full quote is:


According to some estimates we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions.

www.cbsnews.com...

One of the problems is that we don't know the timespan he's talking about. Ten years? Twenty years?
Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen today released details of President Clinton's Fiscal Year (FY) 2001 defense budget. The budget requests $291.1 billion in budget authority and $277.5 billion in outlays for the Department of Defense (DoD).

www.fas.org...

So even if all of the money disappeared, it would have had to been over the span of several years. Not saying it isn't idiotic, just keeping the record straight.

You're right, Phage.
2.3trillion is a lot of money... It may have taken several years, decades maybe to spent it all...

...and "for how long" this is happening is something a lot of people would also like to know, right?


Peace

A trillion here. A few billion there.

I believe the first rumblings about this were from Cheney in June of 2001.

Thing is, when the administration "changed hands" would they not have done a clean accounting? That kind of work begins right after the election no? Act quick, steal a few trill and bring attention to it and surely everyone will blame it on the last guy. Brilliant!

I understand that this may not be what happened at all...it may well have been "misplaced" for over a decade or so, but I doubt it. We'll probably never know. However, the Bush administration wasn't exactly fiscally conservative or responsible. Not even close. And the US GAO knew too and called them out...and nothing was ever followed through on?

During the Bush administration, a few billion were "misplaced" in Iraq too no? First from the country's treasury and later in a few pallets full of money sent over to stimulate the Iraqi economy. And didn't another $60 billion or s0 get misplaced over at HUD?

Not to even get into the trillions poured out into the "war effort" (and directly into the pockets of the likes of Halliburton...i.e. Cheney), the pharma industry (i.e. Rummy), and the oil industry (Condie and the Bushies). This kind of thing happens in government, sure. But not to this degree and with this kind of blatancy.

And with no steps taken to remedy it or recover it for the taxpayers for 8 years? Oh wait, we had an elective war to worry about...one that's nearing a trillion officially and two trillion unofficially. Geez.

It is not just the money missing which is fishy. It is also very telling, which people were killed on 9/11. 38 budget analysts and accountants working for the Army budget office were killed, when the pentagon was hit.
www.libertyforlife.com...

But here is a real kicker. Guess who was overseeing the Pentagon's spending program? No other, than Dov S. Zakheim. He served as undersecretary for defense (comptroller) from 2001-2004 . Prior, Zakheim was not only part of the nefarious PNAC, but also the CEO of the System Planning Corporation. A corporation, which developed a remote controll system for aircrafts.

Pentagon part starts at 3:15, but the whole video is worth watching
