Has This Administration "LAUNDERED" Taxpayer Money?
Missing BILLIONS in the Iraq war. Missing TRILLIONS unaccounted by the Pentagon. Halliburton has defrauded this country of, at least, MILLIONS.

Where the hell is all that money going?

Are these bastards selling out our country? If so, to whom (hint: corporate fascists working other nations)?

When, WHEN will these bastards finally be held accountable?

DAMN!!!!

1. Probably.
It wouldn't surprise me at all if they did. That amount of money doesn't just disappear and still troops don't have their vehicles adequately armored. :wtf: You've heard the one about war being good for business I'm sure. I believe that this is what we are experiencing in Iraq.

2. One of the purposes of the Iraq war was to rob us and give the money
to HAL, KBR, etc

5. Where are these tyrants funneling all that money?
Are they "buying" cooperation towards their global power plan? Where's it going?

6. Hal/KBR got a good deal of it
I'm sure bribes and pay-offs within Iraq took care of some of it.

And you got to wonder what black-op the Pentagon supported with some of it.

there are gun manufacturers to protect.

8. Are they buying their own nuclear arsenal
Edited on Fri Jul-29-05 05:23 PM by JDPriestly
and installing it on an island somewhere, a la James Bond and the The Spy Who . . . ?" JUST JOKING OF COURSE, but this theory would explain the close relationship they are nurturing with Pakistan, which is a known for selling nuclear weapons to whomever.

9. Since they've admitted that inciting "all out war" is on their agenda,...
,...I wouldn't be a bit surprised that they are funnelling all resources towards a "castle" to protect themselves; those self-appointed gods over humanity.

Meanwhile, the bastards just say, "I don't know" where all that money is going.

Amazing!!!! They should be imprisoned for life just for dismissing any responsibility!!! Assholes!!!!

17. You may be joking, but, I wouldn't put it past the vicious control freaks.
And you nailed it about Pakistan. Anyone who has examined the BCCI scandal would know that Pakistan played a HUGE part in it, and Poppy Bush was facilitating their crimes every step of the way, and especially on the cover up.

10. How would we find out?
Who would reveal such "laundering"?

The GAO has exposed these bastard's recklessness. Will anyone within that regime set the record straight, be more committed to the American people and principles associated with democracy OVER a handful of exploitative tyrants? Or will economic cannibalism and human evil prevail over the best interests of this nation and her people?

Unforgiveable!!! Shameful!!! CRIMINAL!!!!

16. They've been doing it for decades. BCCI - Riggs - Iraqgate
Iraqgate has excellent documentation - Poppy's boys tried to pin the blame for 5BILLION of our tax dollars going to Saddam Hussein on a 35yo bank manager in Atlanta.

They said he was a lone wolf. He is also said to have died of natural causes in prison. The media was informed of his "death" a week after it supposedly happened.

He fought it at first, so there are court documents where Kissinger was named as one of the characters involved in approving the funds going to Saddam through a bank in Italy - BNL.

13. When cash is involved, suitcases and duffel bags full of it,
it is very easy to misappropriate it. This happens not only in Iraq and Afghanistan (plenty of heroin money to be had there) but also right here in the US of A. How much accounting is made of the millions of dollars in cash that flows into the toll booths along, say, the OHIO and FLORIDA turnpikes?

All of it non-traceable.

15. When they siphon legitimate funds off...
for their own nefarious deeds, it can hardly be called "Laundering" - the money isn't getting clean, it's getting dirty. I believe the term is embezzlement - or just plain theft, eh?

And I have NO IDEA when they'll be held accountable, but it won't happen until some more Dems are elected or some Republicans find their "moral centers" and start calling a spade a spade.
