6 Point 6 Billion Dollars
$6.6 billion
as if
mr. obama’s assassination of
the unarmed &
defenseless,
bin laden,
wasn’t enough of a thorn in ex-president w’s side,
auditing investigators have released information
detailing the
MISSING
$6.6
BILLION
DOLLARS
that the geniuses at our
pentagon
sent as a part of a $12 billion in total,
cash airlift,
to
“post-war iraq” in
2004---
this supposedly misplaced money
was iraq’s---
taken from iraqi asset’s & the sale of oil during the
war that also had
“ended”
at this point in time---
this debt was to be paid back with
money
drawn directly from our pockets,
if you are an american
tax payer.
as if you yourself cannot think of thousands of ways
which this
“largest theft of funds in national history”
could have been used to help our
desperate & suffering
domestic
population,
who continues to be hurt by cuts to services which are
needed
to better our lives,
( but instead are drained from us, used only to fund
military actions all over the world as we,
the declining policeman,
attempts to keep control of what is so very
obviously slipping out of our
grasp by
beating every last resisting entity over the head with our
baton)---
consider that with this money that was lost,
“is the equivalent of the amount needed to run the
Los Angeles Unified School District or the Chicago
Public Schools for a year”---
yes,
think of all the teachers being laid off in our country
because of our inability to put the
education of our
children
first---
& while you’re at it,
think of being the richest country in the world,
still---
without universal health care.
mad?
