"We Don't Know Where That 2.3 TRILLION Dollars Went!" Rep DeFazio Calls To Audit The Pentagon
Missing Trillions
Rumsfeld Buries Admission of Missing 2+ Trillion Dollars in 9/10/01 Press Conference
The Comptroller of the Pentagon at the time of the attack was Dov Zakheim, who was appointed in May of 2001 Before becoming the Pentagon's money-manager, he was an executive at System Planning Corporation, a defense contractor specializing in electronic warfare technologies including remote-controlled aircraft systems Zakheim is a member of the Project for a New American Century and participated in the creation of its 2000 position paper Rebuilding America's Defenses which called for "a New Pearl Harbor."
Estimates of the sums of money missing vary wildly.[color=gold]A 2003 report put the amount missing at "more than a trillion dollars."
Well it was laid to rest by everybody who actually KNEW what it was about in the first place.....in the misinformed world of the 9/11 Truther....not so much........
Wrong again. I watched the video. When he mentioned the 2.3 trillion, he made a direct reference to the GAO audit I was speaking about. Why he did not bother to fully research the subject and find out that the DoD spent the rest of 2001 and a chunk of 2002 reconciling the issue I don't know. But he wouldn't be the first Congressman who didn't know his butt from a hole in the ground.
Zakheim Seeks To Corral, Reconcile 'Lost' Spending
For years, DoD and congressional officials have sought to reconcile defense financial documents to determine where billions in expenditures have gone. That money didn't fall down a hole, but is simply waiting to be accounted for, Zakheim said in a Feb. 14 interview with the American Forces Information Service. Complicating matters, he said, is that DoD has 674 different computerized accounting, logistics and personnel systems.
Most of the 674 systems "don't talk to one another unless somebody 'translates,'" he remarked. This situation, he added, makes it hard to reconcile financial data.
Billions of dollars of DoD taxpayer-provided money haven't disappeared, Zakheim said. "Missing" expenditures are often reconciled a bit later in the same way people balance their checkbooks every month. The bank closes out a month and sends its bank statement, he said. In the meanwhile, people write more checks, and so they have to reconcile their checkbook register and the statement.
DoD financial experts, Zakheim said, are making good progress reconciling the department's "lost" expenditures, trimming them from a prior estimated total of $2.3 trillion to $700 billion. And, he added, the amount continues to drop
Not that it will do any good, because to you, credible is Alex Jones et al....but.....

Your assumptions of me and who I “think” are credible are terrible wrong.
No, see, its you that have failed to show any proof that 2.3 trillion in cash was missing. A blowhard Congressman spouting off for CSpan isnt proof. Whereas, it has been shown NUMEROUS times to you, on ATS, that it was accounting issues and not actual money.
