Haven’t you learned yet, Uncle Dave. You can’t question the motives of anything that supports the troops. Besides, even if Al Gore had been president, some similar scam would doubtless have been created.

Not to defend George Bush, but this was caused by members of the Defense Department. Bush is just a figurehead, that appointed those that wanted to be appointed to their lucrative positions. And ASY is just another sham front for “business as usual”. The GAO reported in Dec 2001 of the USO wasting $433K on luxury expenses. Probably for the top brass.

When I was in the service, I noticed that the USO was only located in major cities like DC, Baltimore and Denver. But nowhere near the US towns and bases where the majority of service member actually served. So only if you were visiting a huge city, had no other plans, and were running out of cash, might the USO come in handy. I guess they’re weren’t interested in supporting the troops in the middle of our American deserts. Just in high profile places, like Iraq. Granted, they should be there too. But are they really just in Iraq now, to appear being useful? About as useful as the ASY holding concerts in NYC, on the Intrepid. Thank god troops serving there had something else to go to besides all the pricey Broadway theater, and Coney Island.

Well at least this accounts for a tiny bit of the 3 *trillion* tax dollars that the Pentagon simply “cannot account for” — i.e., whose expenditure shows up on no ledger of any kind, even those that deal with “classified” procurements…

3 Trillion dollars, folks.

small potatoes compared to what was wasted in Iraq, and the fraud that went into covering the failure up:

What happened to the U.S.O.? How many government organizations do we need to do the same thing? Does everything need to be done in triplicate?

After having read this article, one sage adage came to mind.

“It’s not what you know but who you know that matters”.

I just read an article of extreme importance to anyone who loves our Constitution and who cares about the future of our Country.

It’s called “Justice After Bush” by Scott Horton, and is in the latest issue of Harper’s.

Please – please read it.

It’s easy reading by the way, and you won’t be able to put it down once you start.

>> Aren’t you glad you voted for Bush and Co?

What appalls me MORE is how many people voted for Bush THE SECOND TIME.

Everything bad now was already obvious in 2004.
