Here's one article about this;
Rumsfeld, 9/11 and $2.3 trillion

Pluto posted the link to the article on $6.5 trillion loss

This is only one of many videos of Rumsfeld saying that the pentagon lost track of $2.3 trillion. On the link to the video below, there are many other videos on this YouTube page as well as other issues that are about 9/11 and building 7 that many people believe shows how 9/11 was a false flag event and that this happened so that neocons could implement their plan for invading, destroying countries that Israel wants overthrown so that they are the only remaining superpower in the Middle East.

This site had a discussion about this event. This site allows people to say what they believe without people starting pie fights.

When I went back to the search page results, I found this link to an article that links to daily kos about why no one asks Rumsfeld where the $2.3 trillion is.

Why doesn't anyone ask Rumsfeld where the 2.3 TRILLION went?

A few nations are offering a right of return to the American colonists.

Which ones?

#9.1

...last August. And yet it still refuses to do an audit. They've never done an audit. There is no oversight by the temporary elected government. They don't have that kind of power or clearance. That budget has always been under Deep State authority and control.

I remember when Rumsfeld announced that loss. First time I ever heard of it. The Pentagon has bled the American people dry. One more round of cutting taxes and raising defense spending will bring crushing cuts in social support, huge austerity, gun violence, and massive incarceration. The poors will perish. Another way to make America great again, I suppose. People should try to emigrate. A few nations are offering a right of return to the American colonists.

Pentagon Cannot Account For $6.5 Trillion Dollars Is Taxpayer Money

Adding to the appearance of impropriety is the fact that thousands of documents that should be on file have been removed and disappeared without any reasonable explanation.

A new Department of Defense Inspector General’s report, released last week, has left Americans stunned at the jaw-dropping lack of accountability and oversight. The glaring report revealed the Pentagon couldn’t account for $6.5 trillion dollars worth of Army general fund transactions and data, according to a report by the Fiscal Times.

The Pentagon, which has been notoriously lax in its accounting practices, has never completed an audit, would reveal how the agency has specifically spent the trillions of dollars allocated for wars, equipment, personnel, housing, healthcare and procurements allotted to them by Congress.

Beginning in 1996 all federal agencies were mandated by law to conduct regular financial audits. However, the Pentagon has NEVER complied with that federal law. In 20 years, it has never accounted for the trillions of dollars in taxpayer funds it has spent, in part because “fudging” the numbers has become standard operating procedure at the Department of Defense.

@Pluto's Republic that questioned where the pentagon couldn't account for this amount of money:

Excellent question Quinn by Hound dog:

As we now contemplate how to cut government spending from the current 23% of GDP down to the 18% that can be sustained on our new Bush-Obama tax cuts, I believe the next majority of cuts must come from defense as our social programs are now underfunded, and we will need more to implement Obamacare.

Meanwhile, we need to ask why we are spending hundreds of billions in nation to keep basis and troops in Europe to protect Europeans from a anachronistic tank blitz from the Soviet Union that does not even exist anymore. Most of the Warsaw Pact nations are now in the European Union and many European nations refuse to spend more than 1.9% of their GDP on military expenses as they do not view that threat as worth sacrificing their social spending.

If they don't see this threat why should we? Meanwhile a study last week indicated that Europe was investing 4.5% of their GDP on infrastructure investments to improve their economies and the Chinese are spending over 9% on theirs.

Any guesses for the US? 2.5% which is insufficient to even replace existing roads, bridges, electrical networks, let along move into the 21st century to compete with modern economic powerhouses.

We need an urgent blue ribbon commission to reduce military spending in a first step by 20% to be followed by others. We can start by closing 25% of the 800 military b basis we maintain that no longer are justified by national security needs, and must be cut before turning Medicare, Medicaid, and other of our poor, sick, elderly into the streets, and start slashing tuition assistance, nutrition programs, and shuttering regulatory agencies as the GOP will now demand.

There were a lot of other great comments and discussions on the missing amount money. Highly recommend that people read his diary.
