And, for that matter, where are the 12-18 BILLION dollars in shrink-wrapped hundreds that disappeared in Iraq?

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.

So, why are discussions of 'entitlement cuts' and chained CPI on the table when identifying waste in the Defense budget is clearly OFF the so-called table?

Seriously, WTF.

Are we to believe that Rumsfeld was just making shit up when he gave that speech?

No. He was 'on to something', and trying to make his name as a reformer of a bloated system. (I'm not defending him- I think he's a terrible person with self-serving goals.) He was indeed 'on to something', but the events of the next day changed everything.

That said, why can't we revisit his words and take a good hard look at where all that money goes?

If 12 Billion fell off a truck in Benghazi, would the Republicans look the other way?
