For those of us who have been around long enough to see a few wars, or even to have read about some of them, it's no surprise that our military's finance department doesn't have a perfect record. Even so, the rose color fades fast from the glasses when the military reports that over $360 million has passed on to the people we're fighting against.
So, how does this happen? Well, let's take a look first at the Obama administration, because the president is ultimately responsible, like it or not, for the goings-on during his tenure in office. How can we even expect a remote possibility of avoiding something so heinous as this, when Attorney General Holder is sending guns into the cartel-run provinces of Mexico with almost no way to get them back? Operation Fast and Furious is a failure of gigantic proportions. But, really, folks, we should be more worried about a Lone Wolf attack... seriously? The Lone Wolf, if there is one, has a great possibility of being a creation of our own government, considering their unbelievably loose policies in shelling out cash and guns to our enemies.
By the way, this $360 million "mistake"in Afghanistan amounts to more than than all of Osama bin Laden's estimated personal wealth. The United States government, in the wake of bin Laden's death, is bankrolling the Taliban and al Qaida. This provides funding for another seven World Trade Center attacks!
The answer? You be the judge. Comments welcome.
