Now it is coming to light that our military in Iraq is pleading with the idiots in Washington to let them sidestep some of the beaurocratic rules and regulation and speed money to projects fixing the infrastructure over there. The problem was easily predictable when Kerry and the dems started demogoging against the no bid contract which went to Halliburton. For political gain they ignore the fact Halliburton also got one from Clinton's administration for Bosnia because they have unique abilities. So, the desk jockies in Washington sit there insisting that all the usual guidelines required to spend our money are followed to the letter. It makes no difference to them that our troops are placed in ever increasing danger because the Iragis are unemployed and expected improvements in their lives are not being realized. As a result they join the insurgency.
We are talking about more than 100 billion dollars in the pipeline here and much of that will be wasted anyway. I think we should waste it as quickly as necessary to get some work done over there so we can get out.
