The Madness of the War Profiteering in Iraq

>"Iraq for Sale" director Robert Greenwald explains to Congress that the billions that defense contractors and war profiteers are making out of the Iraq war is a madhouse run amuck.
RE:Kellogg, Brown & Root (a subsidiary of Cheney's Halliburton)
"When I could be actively becoming a better soldier and becoming more proficient in my job, instead I'm going to sit up on guard duty and wait around while KBR contractors are doing the job that I had to train them to do."

>Stewart Scott, (a former Halliburton employee) with pain and rage in his voice, said how DARE Halliburton put its people up at five-star hotels, while the soldiers, were sleeping on the ground.

>He saw Halliburton advertising a job for truck drivers in Iraq and he signed up. EMPTY trucks were being driven across dangerous stretches of desert. He explained that Halliburton got paid for the number of trips they took, regardless of whether they were carrying anything. This was the result of cost-plus, no-bid contracts. Paid for by YOU, the American taxpayer.

Then there's the burn pits:
>"Burn pits are large dumps near military stations where they would burn equipment, trucks, trash, etc. If they ordered the wrong item, they'd throw it in the burn pit. If a tire blew on a piece of equipment, they'd throw the whole thing into the burn pit. They burn pits had so much equipment, they even gave them a nickname -- "Home Depot."
It infuriated him to have to burn stuff rather then give it to the Iraqis or to the military. Yet Halliburton was being rewarded EACH TIME they billed the government for a new truck or new piece of equipment. "It's a legal way of stealing from the government or the taxpayers' money."

I don't know about you Tom, but I've had enough of the lies, the no-bid contracts, and the under-handed way Bush and Cheney have created and profitted from this war, ...be it for their egos or their bank acoounts. I think it's high time the US citizens impeached BOTH and worried about the investigations <later.> It's allowed in our Constitution. What are we waiting for?
