Funds Meant For U.S. Troops Diverted For Dead Fat Ted Tumor Head Kennedy
U.S. Troop Funds diverted for pet projects. Washington Times:
Senators diverted $2.6 billion in funds in a defense spending bill to pet projects largely at the expense of accounts that pay for fuel, ammunition and training for U.S. troops, including those fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to an analysis.
Among the 778 such projects, known as earmarks, packed into the bill: $25 million for a new World War II museum at the University of New Orleans and $20 million to launch an educational institute named after the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, Massachusetts Democrat.
While earmarks are hardly new in Washington, "in 30 years on Capitol Hill, I never saw Congress mangle the defense budget as badly as this year," said Winslow Wheeler, a former Senate staffer who worked on defense funding and oversight for both Republicans and Democrats. He is now a senior fellow at the Center for Defense Information, an independent research organization.
Sen. Tom Coburn, Oklahoma Republican, called the transfer of funds from Pentagon operations and maintenance "a disgrace."
"The Senate is putting favorable headlines back home above our men and women fighting on the front lines," he said in a statement.
War, the death of U.S. and Allied Soldiers and the deaths of innocent civilians is based purely on political ideology for The Left.
This is why I'm so glad that Fat Ted Tumor Head Kennedy is rotting in Hell. It's the perfect place for him for the rest of eternity.
We owe a debt of gratitude to the glioma tumor that killed Fat Ted. Every Liberal should get one.
