Gotta love the Liberal Hypocrisy

This is about the Pentagon wasting over $100 million on airline tickets it never used. Now, the issue is what it is. A complete waste of taxpayers money and it needs to be addressed NOW. BUT, you gotta love how the leftist try to spin this:

"At a time when our soldiers are patrolling the streets of Iraq in unarmored Humvees, and when the Bush Administration is asking for record Defense spending, Secretary (Donald H.) Rumsfeld is letting hundreds of millions of dollars that could be used to protect our troops and our country go to waste," said Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Illinois, one of three lawmakers who ordered the studies.

Yet, look at the years this all happened:

The GAO estimated that between 1997 and 2003, the Defense Department bought at least $100 million in tickets that were not used or used only partially by a passenger who did not complete all legs of a flight. The waste went undetected because the department relied on individuals to report the unused tickets. They did not do so.

The last time I checked, Rumsfeld wasn't in charge for the first half of those years!

It's amazing what they are trying to throw out there right now. I will be glad when November comes. Don't get me wrong, I realize the Liberals will continue to throw crap out there, but it is getting pretty deep. They are reaching for everything they can get their hands on right now to win this election.

the polariztion is becoming too much.
I wish their was a semblence of understanding that they serve the people....

Remember this?
