LOL, administration wants donations for Iraq now

Post by R00k »

This is just too fucking rich
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nati ... &cset=true

" Although more than $30 billion in taxpayer funds have been appropriated for Iraqi reconstruction, the administration earlier this month launched an Internet-based fundraising effort that it says is aimed at giving Americans 'a further stake in building a free and prosperous Iraq.'

Contributors have no way of knowing who's getting the money or precisely where it's headed because the government says it must keep the details secret for security reasons."

So now that we've spent hundreds of billions already, not to mention how much of it has been wasted -- like that billion dollars for the Iraqi military that was defrauded from the Iraqi government in an elaborate con through military purchases -- the government has the gall to ask taxpayers to give even more money, while stating the destination for it is a secret?

What fucking planet are these guys living on?

Maybe Army recruiters doing double-duty on street corners as panhandlers to get some more cash?

Bush: "Listen, we've already given all the non-war tax money to rich buddies and campaign contributors, and they still haven't gotten all we promised them -- you taxpayers gotta keep up your end of the bargain!"

"Well, we didn't really make a bargain with anybody but you - why are you giving our money away instead of using it for our good?"

Bush: "Listen, if you can think of a way to put millions more of those negroids in abject poverty AND STILL make the government look completely impotent with all the money we have - without giving some of that sweet cash away to this country's most successful money-horders, well you just let me know! And don't forget I still have to spend half a trillion bucks to talk everybody into electing me again!"

"Sunnuva bitch that guy's smart - I wish I could vote for him again!"
