KBR has received over 300 million dollars worth of contracts in Afghanistan and they hold the largest single contract of any firm in Iraq. They have made billions in Iraq. Many of these contracts were awarded without bidding, they were just given out to KBR because the White House knew they would do the best job.
It doesn't take a genius to put together what was going on.
This is going a bit OT, but you need to be aware that Brown&Root (KBR) has been supporting the military... especially the Army since my very first deployment to Bosnia way back in 1996. They did... and still do a FANTASTIC job, and they save us (the military) from having to worry about all of the complications and crap involved with keeping a base camp running and getting all of the assorted stuff that goes with that to and from the camps. They are not some big evil company, they have proven themselves time and time and time again.
I am not doubting or even arguing that there have been some HUGE accounting issues with the money and contracting, but that is the Government's fault not the contractor.
Ok, back on topic:
The Republicans again show where their loyalties lie: not to their constituency but to their corporate campaign donations.
Don't stick this all on the Republicans, the Democrats are just as dirty and just as disloyal to their constituents. In this case, it just happens to be all Republicans, but BOTH parties are fucking things up and BOTH parties need to be kicked squarely in the balls on election day. I am voting for as many independents as I can fit on my ballot, it is time to send a message to these dipshits that we are tired of their reindeer games, and want some real action, cooperation and genuine GOOD to come out of Washington.
