Reps Murtha and Moran don’t know about Missing TRILLIONS

[Marleyb]

Reps Murtha & Moran demonstrate that they don’t have a clue.

During their town hall meeting on C-span , a young woman asked about the http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/01/29/eveningnews/main325985.shtml">Pentagon missing TRILLIONS, which was announced by Rumsfeld at a press conference on Sept 10, 2001. (Funny timing, eh)

Both Moran and Murtha don’t even know about it… they say she must be talking about Billions- they brush off the intelligent young lady as if she doesn’t have a clue- when it fact it is they- the elected Representatives that are uninformed.

IMO, to not know about this huge story of the missing Trillions, illustrates that these two CongressCritters are incompetent.

This town hall meeting should serve as a wake up call- the public is better informed than the Critters- period. Not just this young gal, but many of the questions were on the money- several of the Citizens at this town hall meeting demonstrated that they would make better Representatives than the two old goats that have been “earning” ~ $160,000 a year for decades.

2. Yeah, it really pissed me off when Moran pooh-pooh'ed her ...

... shows that he's more of an insider than a true opposer of the current cabal, IMO.

5. it's billions and your link doesn't work.

quelle surprize.

6. Rumsfeld states that it is 2.3 trillion

oops that link didn't work

"According to some estimates we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions," Rumsfeld admitted.

$2.3 trillion — that's $8,000 for every man, woman and child in America. To understand how the Pentagon can lose track of trillions, consider the case of one military accountant who tried to find out what happened to a mere $300 million.

"We know it's gone. But we don't know what they spent it on," said Jim Minnery, Defense Finance and Accounting Service

Besides being wrong, Moran was really condescending. The girl offered to send him the information but he refused.

watch for yourself

10. thanks for the link marleyb

I agree that Moran was pretty dismissive. Typical male response...

[Marleyb]

8. Does anyone have Murtha's fax number?

I can't seem to find it...

[Marleyb]

9. kick for info

still looking for Murtha's fax number to his local offices?? Both he and Moran seemed like they would be outraged if they knew the truth. Murtha admitted that they were responsible for oversight on this and then they both brushed it off like it this were true we would know about it.

Does anyone else think we should send this to our representatives? These missing trillions represent a hugh part of our national debt. Shouldn't someone be held accountable? Isn't anyone else worried about what they might have done with this money under the table??

[Marleyb]

11. Any DUer live in Murtha's district??

We have got to get this information to him!

12. Can you give us an approximate time code for the exchange?

The piece is 2 1/2 hours long and I can't listen to that much politi-crap at once.

13. i hear ya
