A few weeks ago, the Diety titled a post "Who Ya Got?: U.S. Going Broke vs. Feeding Starving Children " and I made the following comment:
"I bet less than 10% of the $100 million will get to where it's supposed to go. Corrupt politicians will take the lions share. Rebels will commandeer the food and nothing will change, other than having well fed terrorists in Somalia..."
Low and behold, some very brave reporters got off their asses in Somalia and found out where the money and food are going... you guessed it, not to the starving children, that's for damn sure! You idiots keep quoting scripture as a good reason to send aid to Somalia...
What really pisses me off about this is that if a dumba$$ like me knows what's going to happen, why in the hell don't the idiots running the UN and the politicians spending our tax dollars know??? Time to fire up a flame thrower!!!

MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Sacks of grain, peanut butter snacks and other food staples meant for starving Somalis are being stolen and sold in markets, an Associated Press investigation has found, raising concerns that thieving businessmen are undermining international famine relief efforts in this nearly lawless country.
The U.N.'s World Food Program acknowledged for the first time that it has been investigating food theft in Somalia for two months. The WFP strongly condemned any diversion of "even the smallest amount of food from starving and vulnerable Somalis."
Underscoring the perilous security throughout the food distribution chain, donated food is not even safe once it has been given to the hungry in the makeshift camps popping up around the capital of Mogadishu. Families at the large, government-run Badbado camp, where several aid groups distribute food, said they were often forced to hand back aid after journalists had taken photos of them with it.
