90,000 rifles 80,000hand guns $8 billion missing?

Another 36.4 million for body armor and weapons cannot be accounted for?

." A billion dollars earmarked for a refinery repair program was stolen and ended up in the hands of the "insurgency." WTF:crazy:

Now mind you this administration wants a surge.

4. Who cares?

At least it's not being wasted on welfare mothers or affordable health care for Americans. Thank heavens it won't be wasted on any free birth control. You could be sure the Republicans would be outraged about that. Now, if you said a Democrat, was going to raise taxes to pay for it, outrage would be the order of the day.

10. It's called shrinkage - you know - like shoplifting is to retail.
