On Sept. 10, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld declared war. Not on foreign terrorists, "the adversary's closer to home. It's the Pentagon bureaucracy," he said.
He said money wasted by the military poses a serious threat.
"In fact, it could be said it's a matter of life and death," he said.
Rumsfeld promised change but the next day – Sept. 11-- the world changed and in the rush to fund the war on terrorism, the war on waste seems to have been forgotten.
"According to some estimates we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions," Rumsfeld admitted.

We did nothing about Waco, ruby Ridge, and 9/11. So also will we do nothing about this. See CONSPIRACY: The Year Was 1971
