If they were concerned about their tax dollars, they would be demanding to know where are the 2.3 trillion dollars that Rumsfeld misplaced the day before 9/11. They would have demanded an account of the billions in cash that was passed around in bags in Iraq with no record keeping.

And its more than them being hypocrites too. There is something larger and uglier at work here.
