What happened to the $$$ Kids sent to Bush for the Afganistan Kids?
Anyone remember the bucks that Jr collected from the Kids in the USA for the Afganistan Kids?
I haven't heard anything about it since the Corporate Owned Media said the Kids raised over several million dollars for the Kids in Afganistan. Where the hell did the funds go?

Did Jr pocket the cash for the rich or maybe his friend that he put in charge of handling the funds was promised that the kids donations would be his.
:shrug:

2. Wow!
Good question! I had completely forgotten about that, as I'm sure most Americans have. Think any of our elected officials would like to raise this question on the Senate floor?

3. If it were Clinton republicans would be raising holy hell over it
Edited on Wed Jul-09-03 07:21 AM by corarose
Can you imagine the questions that the FAKE Press would ask.


What did Clinton spend the money on?

Did Clinton give the cash to hookers?

Clinton paid a mistress for a BJ with the funds.

Clintons paying for his love child with the funds that the kids sent in.

Clinton stole my kids lunch money.

5. From the memory hole...
airdrops to the kids, candy, a pencil & a toy or some such nonsense, when they needed food, dropped in the middle of fields that also had cluster bombs, so people got killed trying to get to the packages..a real mess as I remember...or don't remember...

A PR stunt that backfired, except the media was almost invisibly silent about it.

7. Didn't the kids in the USA make the pkgs up besides sending the $$$?
I thought that the kids in the USA made up the pkgs that were sent to Afganistan.
Do we have any proof that pkgs were dropped and the amount added up to more then a Million worth of products.

Has anyone ever asked the soldiers if they actually dropped pks of candy and toys(one crayon with no coloring book).

Did Halburton make the boxes up with a fake invoice for nothing?

9. The Skittles & Pencils were donated to Bush
Jr kept the cash and I think that someone should check into were the kids lunch money went to that they sent in.
