Let's put this in proper perspective :
$200,000.oo for Ambassador Steven's security, that she didn't pony up !
but missing is $6,000,000,000.oo from the State Dept. receipts ?... totally unaccounted for ?
That's a lot of MANPADS , and marischino cherries !!
But as the "Queen" has said :" ..at this point , WHAT DOES IT MATTER .. ? " /s
Hillary Clinton on State Dept. budget for FY 2012.
FY 2012 Budget Request March 10, 2011"The second part of our request funds the extraordinary, temporary portion of our war effort the same way the Pentagon’s request is funded: in a separate Overseas Contingency Operations account known as OCO. Instead of covering war expenses through supplemental appropriations, we are now taking a more transparent approach that fully reflects the integrated civilian-military efforts. Our share of the President’s $126 billion request for exceptional wartime costs is $8.7 billion. So all told, we have a $47 billion operational account and an $8.7 billion Overseas Contingency Operations account."
(snip)
"But let me just quickly walk you through this, because on this issue of our $8.7 billion Overseas Contingency Operations, we have the strongest support from Secretary Gates, from Admiral Mullen. And next week – I was speaking with General Petraeus last night. He will be here on the Hill strongly supporting the civilian effort that goes hand-in-hand with what he is doing so heroically in Afghanistan. So we are funding vital civilian missions in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq with this $8.7 billion."
