All kinds of problems, nobody to do nuttin' about 'em. Nobody will do anything about nuttin' 'cause they're a bunch of chickenshits. Where are the guns? Who gives a rat's ass about the embassy. GAO says there are thousands of guns missing and nobody knows where they are. I guess they're just somewhere in Iraq. Huh...where are the GD guns?!! Shit in and shit out.

Life safety (fire alarm, sprinkler systems) items as described in the letter are not minor items. It probably isn't even occupied. Just more BS rhetoric from the Iraq boondoggle and its corroborators. Substantially complete in construction industry speak means occupiable with minor items to complete.

They have been paid and are still being paid for work that will have to be redone. But, they are all FOB's so that's ok. We can just keep paying them and paying them and paying them until they finally get it right.

After all, they're the ones who've been building those internment compounds right here at home. You know...the ones which have ostensibly been built as a precautionary measure in case of an exponential increase in illegal immigration or a large-scale natural disaster, but which some people believe have been built in preparation for a declaration of martial law to imprison American citizens who resist the suspension of civil liberties.
