The State Department has no idea what happened to $6 billion used to pay its contractors.

Quote:


In a special “management alert” made public Thursday, the State Department’s Inspector General Steve Linick warned “significant financial risk and a lack of internal control at the department has led to billions of unaccounted dollars over the last six years.

The alert was just the latest example of the federal government’s continued struggle with oversight over its outside contractors.

The lack of oversight “exposes the department to significant financial risk,” the auditor said. “It creates conditions conducive to fraud, as corrupt individuals may attempt to conceal evidence of illicit behavior by omitting key documents from the contract file. It impairs the ability of the Department to take effective and timely action to protect its interests, and, in tum, those of taxpayers.”

In the memo, the IG detailed “repeated examples of poor contract file administration.” For instance, a recent investigation of the closeout process for contracts supporting the mission in Iraq, showed that auditors couldn't find 33 of the 115 contract files totaling about $2.1 billion. Of the remaining 82 files, auditors said 48 contained insufficient documents required by federal law.

In another instance, the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement issued a $1 billion contract in Afghanistan that was deemed “incomplete.”




Any takers as to who was in charge of the State Dept during that time period ?

Anyone ? Anyone ?

For that much money the State Dept. could have built the Great Wall Of China around their Benghazi compound. And there'd still be plenty left over for liposuction on Hillary's bronto-thighs.

so 6 BILLION dollars paid to US paramilitary contractors to fight the war in Iraq went missing. It was still paid to folks like Blackwater and Halliburton.
Iraq was also the "3 trillion dollar war", remember that. Amounts in BILLIONS are 1/10 of 1 % of what was spent. So if ONLY 6 Billion is missing, that means that 99.8 % of the money was spent appropriately and properly tracked.

6 BILLION dollars probably wasn't even what was spent coffee and donuts for the active duty troops in the area during those six years.

You're just trying, still, to make Obama and Hillary look bad in a pre-emptive strike aimed at 2016.
Oh, and BTW, the State Department is now responsible for the costs of the war in Iraq, not the Department of Defense? not the CIA?

Horseshit!
Clinton did more wrong than just lie about sex in the oval office.
The buck stopped at Bush, no matter what.
That somehow changed with Obama, IMHO. Even well into his second term everything can still be attributed to Bush.

"What's my posting or not posting , here, have to do with anything?"

It tells me whether or not you're worth trying to have an actual discussion with about anything involving facts. And you're not. Because you don't weigh facts with any level of dispassion, judgment, perspective, or honesty. You're willing to pick and choose your issues, not based on importance and outcome, but to scratch purely partisan itches.

Look, we KNOW you post shit that you later disavow when you take heat for it. So, tell me again- how is it that you're not a troll??

And asking for cites about dark programs. That's like asking for proof that the NSA is spying on everyone, before Snowden blew the whistle.

Well, Nuland herself (a State Dept official) claimed $5 billion for State Dept ops in the Ukraine.

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article37599.htm

Both State Dept and CIA retirees will tell you that our embassies, USAID, and NGO programs provide cover for CIA/ destabilization activities. It's not like they're going to put this on the books. Isn't that what you want? No-holds-barred techniques against jihadists, Russians, Chinese, Mexicans, and the 1001 enemies that are hiding under your bed?? Spying, rendition, and torture? Well, the money's gotta come for all that from somewhere.

Just to get back to your usual trollishness... YOU posted this article. And like the other articles that you posted and then took heat for, you started whining ... really whining... like a fucking little kid

It's not ME! I didn't say it! It was that article! That no-account author of that ridiculous article (that I posted because I so clearly disagreed with!) Don't talk to ME! Talk to the AUTHOR!

Really?

Hey, don't expect any more replies from me on this thread. You clearly have no intention of discussing it; this is just a drive-by as far as you're concerned, and it shouldn't get any more attention than the other crap that you post.

In fact this article- and you- get far more attention than you deserve. I've made my usual effort to have a grownup conversation. It didn't work. Goodbye.

So, when YOU make claims you can't back up, it's perfectly reasonable. But when others do it, they're just trolls.

Got it

The writer of the article claims that the $ is missing, and there is no accounting for it. There's been no IG for State for as long as Obama has been in office, and even those at State agree that an IG is needed.

These are the facts.

YOU seem to get bent out of shape at ME for simply posting a Yahoo Finance article.

YES, REALLY ! They wrote it, not I.

We're not talking some article from Mother Jones.

It's clear you need to grow up a bit more, Siggy, before you can have an actual grown up conversation.

definition of a troll: "and I refuse to chase others in a mindless, endless circle of " debate " on the internet. If I 'bitch out' of a discussion, I've said all I'm going to say on the matter, my views have been presented, and there's nothing left to add."


To argue with a man who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead. - Thomas Paine The American Crisis
OONJERAH - We are too dumb to live and smart enough to wipe ourselves out.
"You, who live in any kind of comfort or convenience, do not know how these people can survive these things, do you? They will endure because there is no immediate escape from endurance. Some will die, the rest must live."

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

I provided you with the links you asked for. It's not my fault you can't read. So stuff it.

Nuland's admission of $ spent does not sync w/ the $6 BILLION that's unaccounted.

Nice try.

Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen

So, rather than admitting that Nuland's admission has ZERO to do w/ the monies being discussed, you just bitch out w/ the standard NON Reply reply. Again.

Wow.
