"No Child Left Behind". What an intentionally cruel farce. "Identify the children who have already been left behind by spending lots of money test test testing, while the state budget can't seem to find the money for schoolbooks". It's the War on People, Lawboy. Ahh, so the slower people don't even count in your book. Why is that no surprise to me? "You know you are Limbushed if you can understand Tom Kunich" It's what will be done with the information gathered that is the problem. But I wasn't talking about politics, Mr. Jerk-knee. I was talking about the oil bidness. Where the Bush clan is regarded as carpetbaggers, somewhat more aptly than one could apply the term to Clinton or Romney. Whatever. Yeah, all this last 8 years was, was oil men getting more oil. Thanks for your understanding. It was about destroying oil field infrastructure (a huge payment to one faction) and building it back up, second time since the early 90's, non-competitive contracts given to a corporation where the Vice President was immed. prior to his "election", CEO. From: http://www.truthout.org/article/repo...y-halliburton- connection (quoting) Vice-President Dick Cheney is well known for his discretion, but his official White House biography, as posted on his Web site, may exceed even his own stringent standards. It traces the sixty-three years from his birth, in Lincoln, Nebraska, in 1941, through college and graduate school, and describes his increasingly powerful jobs in Washington. Yet one chapter of Cheney s life is missing. The record notes that he has been a 'businessman" but fails to mention the five extraordinarily lucrative years that he spent, immediately before becoming Vice- President, as chief executive of Halliburton, the world s largest oil- and-gas-services company. The conglomerate, which is based in Houston, is now the biggest private contractor for American forces in Iraq; it has received contracts worth some eleven billion dollars for its work there. Cheney earned forty-four million dollars during his tenure at Halliburton. Although he has said that he "severed all my ties with the company,' he continues to collect deferred compensation worth approximately a hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year, and he retains stock options worth more than eighteen million dollars. He has announced that he will donate proceeds from the stock options to charity. Such actions have not quelled criticism. Halliburton has become a favorite target for Democrats, who use it as shorthand for a host of doubts about conflicts of interest, undue corporate influence, and hidden motives behind Bush Administration policy in particular, its reasons for going to war in Iraq. Like Dow Chemical during the Vietnam War, or Enron three years ago, Halliburton has evolved into a symbol useful in rallying the opposition. On the night that John Kerry won the Iowa caucuses, he took a ritual swipe at the Administration s "open hand" for Halliburton. For months, Cheney and Halliburton have insisted that he had no part in the government s decision about the Iraq contracts. Cheney has stuck by a statement he made last September on Meet the Press : I have absolutely no influence of, involvement of, knowledge of in any way, shape, or form of contracts led by the Corps of Engineers or anybody else in the federal government. He has declined to discuss Halliburton in depth, and, despite a number of recent media appearances meant to soften his public image, he turned down several requests for an interview on the subject. Cheney s spokesman, Kevin Kellems, responded to questions by e-mail. Representative Henry Waxman, a liberal Democrat from California and the ranking minority member of the House Committee on Government Reform, has argued aggressively that the Bush Administration has left many questions about Halliburton unanswered. Last year, for example, a secret task force in the Bush Administration picked Halliburton to receive a noncompetitive contract for up to seven billion dollars to rebuild Iraq s oil operations. According to the Times, the decision was authorized at the "highest levels of the Administration." In an interview, Waxman asked, 'Whose decision was it? Was it made outside the regular channels of the procurement process? We know that Halliburton got very special treatment. What we don t know is why." (end quote) That's what they (BushCo) did. Your bluster bull **** isn't going to cut it anymore, Kunich. --D-y |

Good D-y stuff sniped That's what they (BushCo) did. Your bluster bull **** isn't going to cut it anymore, Kunich. --D-y http://www.military.com/news/article...=1186032310810 KBR Gets Contract Despite GI Deaths February 07, 2009 Associated Press WASHINGTON - Defense contractor KBR Inc., which is under criminal investigation in the electrocution deaths of at least two U.S. Soldiers in Iraq, has been awarded a $35 million contract by the Pentagon to build an electrical distribution center and other projects there. The announcement of the new KBR contract comes just months after the Pentagon, in strongly worded correspondence obtained by The Associated Press, rejected the company's explanation of serious mistakes in Iraq and its proposed improvements. A senior Pentagon official, David J. Graff, cited the company's "continuing quality deficiencies" and said KBR executives were "not sufficiently in touch with the urgency or realities of what was actually occurring on the ground." It's one thing to be supportive of the Party that comes closest to representing your positions. It's a whole other thing, and the biggest problem we have today when there is nothing but blind loyalty, cults of persnoality, "dittos", and personal attacks, and marginalization of anyone who has a different position or take on things. Both Jefferson and Washington warned us, and railed against this crap when the Country was founded and in the early years. You'd think that we'd be better 230 years later but we are worse now. Bill C http://www.guardian.co.uk/notesandqu...-21510,00.html Quoted: Who coined the phrase, "The first casualty of War is Truth" ? . However, the true origin may be in the edition of "The Idler" magazine from 11/11/1758 which says "...among the calamities of war may be jointly numbered the diminution of the love of truth, by the falsehoods which interest dictates and credulity encourages." This is just one of the fruits of the "culture war" and the ongoing garbage between the Republicraps and Demicons and their fanatical ideological stormtroopers. |

Well, you're probably one of those people who believe that we should have put out the contracts in Iraq to competitive bid. Then you'd rejoice at how a French company won them and was supplying the American serviceman. |
