I'm sure this kind of stuff happens in all wars. I was just a little shocked that they acted like that was just a pittance because of the 31 billion being spent. That's 360 million that could have been applied to the deficit. We spend way too much money in these other countries.

Yeah we have wasted a ton of money in Iraq and Afghanistan. in Iraq they just shipped in millions of dollars in 100 dollar bills to hand out. I was confused if it was Iraq or a strip club, I guess they wanted to make it rain in Baghdad. Seriously though the wars have drained our resources trillions of dollars spent. There is a huge chunk of the deficit right there. Not to mention we are funding the Taliban just like we funded the VC.

It wasn't too long ago it was reported that the Pentagon could not account for something over $8billion. There are some people that are making bank on that mess.

It is not uncommon for CIA operatives to land in a country like this or say Libya with a duffel bag full of $1million US dollars. There is never just one operative either...there are dozens or even hundreds. So unfortunately, this can and does happen. Don't forget that we had Bin Laden 'on the payroll' back in the 80s and 90s.
