Over a mere two decades, the Pentagon lost track of a mind-numbing $10 trillion — that’s trillion, with a fat, taxpayer-funded “T” — and no one, not even the Department of Defense, knows where it went or on what it was spent.

Even though audits of all federal agencies became mandatory in 1996, the Pentagon has apparently made itself an exception, and — fully 20 years later — stands obstinately orotund in never having complied.

Because, as defense officials insist — summoning their best impudent adolescent — an audit would take too long and, unironically, cost too much.

Per Joe Miller on facebook
He wrote;·

“This is a massive amount of money. And where did it go? To destabilizing forces in the Middle East? To other terrorists? Black book operations?

Do you agree that however it was spent, it was outside the rule of law and endangers the Republic?”

I’d check with Iran and other Muslim countries favored by our last president.

Ask the head of the Senate Armed Services Committee, SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN.

Did anyone check what was on the plane that landed at night, in Iran with guards and a whole lot of money? I think someone by the name of bami was involved...

What do you want to bet that the biggest chunk went to black ops? And anything left over went for beer. Lots of beer.

And hookers.

This story is a crack up. Seriously.

The government has become like a family that never has a budget and, one day, discovers the cards are maxed out and the savings is gone and nobody knows where it went.

That’s when it gets ugly.

Someone knows where the money went.

I remember Rumsfeld said on Sept 10, 2001 in front of congress (I believe that’s where he said it) that 6 Trillion was unaccounted for. And the next day when the plane hit the pentagon, it hit right at the accounting offices.

And we have services stating combat readiness at less than 50% and cannibalizing aircraft to keep a few airworthy.

Nothing in the story substantiates the $10 Trillion headline.
