Congress Reports $30 Billion Wasted in Iraq-Afghanistan

The report from a bi-partisan panel estimates that $30 Bil has been wasted on Contracted Projects in our "Nation Building Efforts" in the Middle East.  Poor planning, vague and shifting requirements and very poor project management are some of the causes of this loss.  The panel has 15 recommendations, but my first one is "Let's Get the H___ Out! 

At a time when we are drowning in debt with record unemployment numbers we just cannot afford this, even if it was justified which it isn't.  We should never go to war on foreign soil unless there is an "Imminent Threat" to our own Security.  Meanwhile, the administration refuses to address  the real imminent threat on our border with Mexico.

We need to replace this Administration and Congressmen who are making these irrational decisions.
