1. We all know exactly where that 2.3 trillion has gone --- into the coffers of the Bushistas.
The pipeline to Halliburton and friends has been open for a very long time.

2. A lot of that money...
Gets sucked into "Black Projects" where there is little to no oversight. The largest percentage of those projects are the personal feifdoms of Air Farce Generals. Having a black project of your very own, in the Air Farce, is a sign of status.

If investigators want to know where that money is going, that is where they should look.

5. Yeah. The terrorists JUST HAPPENED to crash into the accounting/finance section.
Wow. What terrible luck and horrible coincidence.

Oh well. Just another anomaly on a day packed with 'em.

10. I wonder why he resigned? Hmmmm.
In March this year, Rabbi Dov Zakheim resigned from his position at the Pentagon. Although he refused to tell journalists the exact reason for his departure, he hinted that his job as the Pentagon’s chief financial officer, controlling the flow of hundreds of millions of dollars, was exhausting.

7. CIA's Opium $ may make up for a portion of this lost money
But the unconstitutional secret funding, as shown in books by Tim Weiner (Blank Check) and Alfred McCoy (The Politics of Heroin) need to be common knowledge among congressmen/women.
