_Pentagon Spent $5 Billion on Weapons on Eve of Shutdown_ (http://killerapps.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2013/10/01/on_the_eve_of_the_government_shutdown_t he_pentagon_spent_billions_on_weapons) 01 Oct 2013 The Pentagon pumped billions of dollars into contractors' bank accounts on the eve of the U.S. government's shutdown that saw 400,000 Defense Department employees furloughed. All told, the Pentagon _awarded 94 contracts_ (http://www.defense.gov/contracts/contract.aspx?contractid=5144) yesterday evening on its annual end-of-the-fiscal-year spending spree, spending more than five billion dollars on everything from robot submarines to Finnish hand grenades and a radar base mounted on an offshore oil platform. To put things in perspective, the Pentagon gave out only 14 contracts on September 3, the first workday of the month. ============================================================================ == Peace NO War Network_ http://www.PeaceNOWar.net_ (http://www.peacenowar.net/) War is not the answer, for only love can conquer hate Not in our Name!
