Now, with Democrats finally having some power, his non-funding for escalation bill, makes total sense. Take a look at the budget deficits, rampant spending by private contractors, 8.5 billion dollars mysteriously lost, lack of accounting, cutting Veterans benefits, and the mess made of the whole Iraq occupation. It is time for the Congress to stop worrying about what the Republicans may do or say, and do what is RIGHT! I would suggest that Congress pass a bill that would severly limit profits made by independent contractors. We, the people, have financed billions of dollars in profits handed out to private companies working in Iraq and to defence contractors in the U.S. No bid contracts given to the administration's cronies have fattened their already bloated holdings. War profiteering was once seen as treasonous. President Carter, and Truman put a stop to it. Bush et al, have laughed all the way to the bank! DEMOCRATS GET BRAVE AND ACTIVE. We have lost all our Civil Rights, let's not carry on with this bloody occupation, too. Representative John Murtha has consistently requested, boldly, the withdrawal of our troops.
