Kabul Bank Bailout? Mahmoud Karzai, President's Brother, Calls For U.S. To Shore Up Bank

Thursday, September 2, 2010


Obama and Democrats ran on ending supplemental military budgets, on putting Bush's wars "on the books".



To date, he and Democrats have not done that.



The wars are still being financed through supplemental bills every few months.



The reason for that is that supplemental bills do not get the scrutiny, the oversight, that putting wars on the budget would.



When wars are put on the budget, Congressional committees get reports on weapons systems being used, the strategy being employed, there is public debate about the plans with benchmarks set and the wars then get Congressional oversight. http://www.ombwatch.org/node/3612



Keeping the wars paid through supplementals keeps everyone, Congress and Obama, unaccountable.



This is how they get away with it.



And we let them do it.
