However, I also heard a blurb about the Senate investigation today on CNN. (yawn) It's just the latest retrofit for reason why we hastily invaded Iraq and did a nice job fucking it up so we'll spend much more in soldier's lives and our tax dollars than we really need to. Meanwhile, there hasn't been a true investigation of Halliburtion's no-bid contracts, and war profiteering. The Vice-Prez,while he was CEO of Halliburton, did business with countries that the US gov't prohibited them to. (Iraq, Libya) You've got to wonder if the D's and R's were reversed that the right wing echo-chamber would never ever shut up about such a malfeasance. Afterall, we heard an assfull about the previous prez's cattle futures and a failed land deal in Arkansas. —GDG |
