Sowing the seeds of future terrorism.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Pentagon can't keep track of hundreds of millions of
dollars worth of weapons and emergency aid given to friendly countries,
congressional investigators found.
The Defense Department agency that's supposed to track the donations
reported about $300 million worth of transfers since 1993, while records
from the four military services showed close to $725 million worth, the
General Accounting Office said in a report released Friday.
The Pentagon agreed it needs to create a record-keeping system for an
accurate accounting of the donations to other countries, known as drawdowns.
Federal law allows a president to order the military or other federal
agencies to give equipment, training or other support to friendly countries
to deal with emergencies, fight narcotics trafficking or meet other needs.
Drawdowns offer the president a quick way to help allies without getting
congressional approval, and the use of that authority has expanded
dramatically in the past decade.

Pot kettle.
The green house gas global warming folks would have to take control of the
sun to do what they say they want to do; except for the redistribution.
Do you want a soldier in the fied to fill out a form for how many rounds
he/she expended? What you are posting is gibberish.

Can your lies get any more baldfaced?

Are you such a complete simpleton that you think that this is about the
rounds a soldier shoots? $725 million isn't a few rounds of bullets.
What is evident is that you're using your simplistic logic in an attempt to
confuse and deceive yourself and our readers.
As I said, incoherent and irrelevant.

You're partially correct for a change. I write that you're incoherent and
irrelevant in many of my posts because of your simplistic and deceptive
rebuts.

The major reason why corporate crime gets little attention from
reporters, academics and government officials has little to do
with complexity, and more to do with the simple reality of corporate
power. Big corporations have marinated our formerly independent
institutions in corporate cash and influence.

Ohhhh, the incompetency of the Pentegon, beleive it or not, at least
10 years ago, quartermasters actually did that, how many rounds of
ammunition were issued, and soldiers had to requistion ordinance in
triplicate. Granted the rules and regulations get losened when you
are actually in combat, but the fact is they are metering out supplies
to troops, while at the same time, 10,000 of tons of ordinance are
becoming unstable and need to be destroyed(at additional costs) in
goverment store houses.
Absolutly amazing what the Pentagon loses, and HOW much of it they
lose.

Yeah, we put little blue stickers on every thing on the property list all
over eddies. The poblem was the hundreds of thousands of dollars in parts
and equipment that had to be trash canned because they had no blue
stickers..

What is most comical is that people seem to just change the subject when
they have little knowlege or background on the topic at hand.
