Why aren’t billions of $$ in USA govt money unaccounted for by Pentagon Defense Dept an election issue?

Why is there so much corruption and fraud at the Pentagon? This money could be used to help our soldiers including Cindy McCain’s and Joe Biden’s sons. Source: Yahoo News "In a recent report, the Pentagon and the Defense Department inspector general estimates that nearly half of the military’s $316 billion weapons budget went unchecked last year because the IG’s office lacked the manpower. Whereas 10 years ago when a single auditor would have reviewed some $642 million in defense contracts, individual investigators are now charged with auditing more than $2 billion in spending.

The IG also has been stretching its staff to investigate corruption and fraud cases overseas, primarily in Iraq and Afghanistan where the military is hiring contractors to help run operations."

How safe is America if we cannot account for the money the Pentagon is entrusted with? I hope and pray this money that taxpayers give to the USA and our weapons are not in the hands of terrorists. Our election news and advanced US computer technology are definitely in the hands of terrorists, specifically Osama bin Laden who has plenty of time on his hands to plot another terrorist attack.

THE BOTTOM LINE: TAXPAYERS DO NOT CARE HOW MUCH MONEY IS SPENT WASTEFULLY AT THE PENTAGON. THIS INFORMATION DOES NOT MAKE FRONT PAGE NEWS AT THE NEW YORK TIMES. WHY WOULD CONGRESS WANT TO OK MORE MONEY FOR THE WARS IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN IF THEY KNEW THAT MONEY WAS BEING MISAPPROPRIATED AND WASTED BY INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS WORKING FOR THE US GOVERNMENT. THE MONEY WASTED AT THE PENTAGON COULD BE PUT TO GOOD USE TO HELP DEFRAY THE COST OF TAKING CARE OF OVER 20,000 CRITICALLY WOUNDED SOLDIERS WHO HAVE FOUGHT FOR THE USA IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN. GENERAL PETRAEUS WOULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER GOP CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT THAN MC CAIN.

I think a lot of that money goes to the so-called ‘black budget’. That’s where defense agencies such as DARPA ,DIA(Defense Intelligence Agency) & the NSA get all their money,1 reason where all the secret military programs are being used on.
