Didn’t need a video. Look around the world. Afghanistan. Iraq. Palestinians. Pick a country we send money to and show me where its not being stolen.
Politicians and various do gooders seem to think a certain amount of fraud is acceptable. Me,i don’t. We should send nothing anywhere without being able to control the purse strings from beginning to end. At least if one of our citizens in involved in corruption we have some recourse.

While alive, Arafat squirreled away $billions which made his surviving wife a wealthy woman.

This is just another worldly scam that ‘leaders’ manage to filter $billions of taxpayer dollars into, under the guise of humanitarianism.

They should have set that video to Toby Keith’s, “I wanna Talk About Me song.”

But on the positive side, think of the good this does for swiss banks that have been under attack recently.

All those billions deposited in Switzerland!
