For its first amateur show, with minimal hype and a lot of ppl unsure, it seemed to be an okay event. The night show - we gotta see some pics. Some ppl have said the place was near packed. Hopefully pics will confirm or deny.
And as requested by PM - here is the $2.3 trillion that the Pentagon / DoD announced missing on Sept
10, 2001.
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.
Just last week President Bush announced, "my 2003 budget calls for more than $48 billion in new defense spending."
More money for the Pentagon, CBS News Correspondent Vince Gonzales reports, while its own auditors admit the military cannot account for 25 percent of what it spends.
According to some estimates, we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions, Rumsfeld admitted.http://benfrank.net/patriots/news/national/pentagon_missing_trillionsConfiemed on pentagon's own page:
