   I read the DOD Contractors report 2.27.06 and it Stated that Contractor spending was UP 35+ billion from 2004. thats a 35 Billion Increase. Of course Halliburton is one of the Top Players.
   Yet 35 billion more in one year, and one of thr top contractors was A Body Armor Company and Still not enough body Armor?
   35 Billion…..

   I find it next to impossible to engage right wing inbreds in “constructive” dialogue, when they refuse to see how perilous the road this country is on given the criminal Bushite regime’s con game…

   How much more blood, treasure and lies will it take to convince these “traitors” that they are aiding and abetting a criminal organization that makes the mafia look like the Boy Scouts?

   It’s gone so far beyond being a partisan issue. The whole mess is now CRIMINAL. The democrats tried to defend Clinton against an act of consensual sex and got ripped up and down for it. But the vast criminal actions of the current gang are so momentous that they boggle the mind–yet the partisan shills continue to try to cover it. You’d think they’d do the honorable thing and finally admit that the sheer volume of scumbaggery is indefensible.

   Note: I’m not a democrat or a republican, though I’ve been registered in both parties in the past. I’m now an “independent” because of the general rotteness of the system–though I think one of the parties is vastly more corrupt than the other.

   #2 .. I find it easier if I start out with something like this… “We should have nuked XYZ instead of invading Iraq.”

   They dont seem to be able to trump me on the seriousness of security from that point on. It doesnt matter if I really would have nuked anybody…they dont have the brains to work around it or call me on it anyway.
