Iraq for Sale

March 23, 2008 at 2:20 pm · Filed under Politics, War

I just watched the testimonies of military and civilian participants and veterans of the IraQuagmire in “Iraq For Sale;” and, as an American who lost one of my best college friends in WTC2 on 9/11 and has family and friends fighting/working in Iraq now, it’s an understatement to say I’m extremely upset with the Bush administration. I’m livid. Bush & Co. have aided and abetted Halliburton/KBR (and their various spinoffs and cronies) in robbing the American people through no-bid contracts, fraudulent billing, and massive overcharging for extraneous, redundant , and even non-existent jobs. That money should have gone to help our troops, our children, and our economy instead.

* In February 2007, Congressman Henry Waxman, a California Democrat, releaseda report saying that out of the 20 billion dollars charged to the U.S.government by Halliburton, 2.4 billion dollars were “unsupported” and“questioned” costs. *
