Iraq and Afghanistan: Wasting Tens of Billions of Dollars
Sen. James Webb, D-Virginia, helped establish the Commission on Wartime Contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan. Among other things, a new report proposes that the government restrict reliance on contractors.
February 25, 2011 - A new report blasts the U.S. government for wasting tens of billions of dollars in Iraq and Afghanistan by relying too much on contractors and doing too little to monitor their performance.
The interim report from the Commission on Wartime Contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan points out that contractors in the war zones sometimes have exceeded the number of military personnel. Numbering 200,000, contractors now roughly match the military force.
"Misspent dollars run into the tens of billions," the report said. The 64-page report was released Thursday and will be followed up next week with a hearing on how to improve contractor accountability.
"War by its nature entails waste. But the scale of the problems in Iraq and Afghanistan also reflects the toxic interplay of huge sums of money pumped into relatively small economies and an unprecedented reliance on contractors," the report said.
Sen. James Webb, D-Virginia, who helped establish the commission three years ago, said Friday that its latest proposals deserve attention from Congress and the Department of Defense and called for a hearing on the matter. {continued}

Hey kidz!!! Well, you certainly don't expect Israel,. . . our "Special Friend" . . . to pay for THEIR OWN WARS, . . do you??? . . . ;-)
That's just bad "business" . . . ;-)
One thing I learned in engineering school long long ago . .. was that systems operate the way they are designed . . .
. . . everything else is just propaganda and "Public Relations". . . ;-)
Given the complete LIES and fabrications that the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were based upon, why in the world would anyone believe the stated "objectives" were any more TRUTH-based???
Much less truthful is all this constant progress-metric "manipulation/masturbation" that we keep hearing out of the Pentagon . . .
. .. which always reduces to "THE WARS MUST CONTINUE . . . WE NEED MORE MONEY . . .
. . .CUT DOMESTIC PROGRAMS . . .
. . . GUNS BEFORE BUTTER . . .
. . . BUT NOT ISRAELI "KOSHER" BUTTER - KEEP AID CHECKS FLOWING . . . ;-)
The recent outing of the CIA field boss who calls himself "Raymond Davis" has shown the world that something is going on that isn't your basic classic "Good Guys vs. Bad Guys" warfare
(clipped headline and article from Veterans Today)
"CIA Agent, Davis, Accused of Delivering 'Dirty Bomb' To Taliban - Double murder-accused US official Raymond Davis has been found in possession of top-secret CIA documents, which point to him or the feared American Task Force 373 (TF373) operating in the region, providing Al-Qaeda terrorists with 'nuclear fissile material' and 'biological agents,' according to a report."

If you really start looking at how these modern "Game Theory" Wars are being fought . . . you start understanding what folks like Rabbi Manis Friedman acutally mean:

"The only way to fight a moral war is the Jewish way: Destroy their holy sites. Kill men, women, children and cattle."
- Rabbi Mansi Friedmen
In other words, destroy ALL other Power Systems . . . completely.
Now, this following article from Veterans Today really shows the nuts and bolts of how this Zionist "Fission Field Warfare" is being carried out. . . with OUR U.S. Tax Dollars . . . for "Eretz Israel".
(clipped headline and article from Veterans Today)
"JONATHAN AZAZIAH : Israel’s Fission Field Warfare — Pakistan, Iraq and Egypt - . . .Fission is defined as ‘the act or process of splitting into parts.’ . . . .There is an entity that has mastered this political fission, or ‘fission field warfare.’ And that criminal entity is Israel."

As far as Israel being a criminal entity, if you haven't watched this documentary by Jeff Gates and Anthony Lawson, please invest the 30 minutes to "level up" your understanding:

And if you think these Globalist Zionists are limiting their "Fission Field" efforts to "Foreign Battle Fields" . . .
. . . well, this ol' fool has a bridge to sell you. . . ;-)
"This ain't rock'n'roll.
This is genocide!
Crawling down the alley
On your hands and knees
I'm sure you're not protected,
For it's plain to see
The diamond dogs are poachers
And they hide behind trees
Hunt you to the ground they will,
Mannequins with kill appeal"
- "Diamond Dogs" by David Bowie
