Just like the cold war when everyone who didn’t agree with the U.S. was either a communist or a communist sympathizer. toki This poor crazy guy spent half a decade being tortured because a bunch

of stupid politicians araç sorgulama were sure the NVA

was in bed with the Russians (minimal help) and/or the Chinese (ancient enemy of the vietnamese). ssk sorgulama You would think he would have learned from others’

mistakes. Guess not. Republicans need an enemy. key ödemeleri This

century it apparently will be all Muslims, health all of whom must

be alQaeda operatives.

I thought you might be interested in reading a letter from Bunny Greenhouse urging all Americans to assist her in her fight for greater oversight and accountability in the stimulus bill.

KBR hired a total of 15 inspectors electrical , plumbing, carpentry, HVAC. We (yes I am one of the electrical inspectors) started our inspection first the requested 300 plus building inspected in a week, really just wanted paper work (pencil whipped) KBR allowed none experience personal to do this. Then when we were able to actually start the inspections and they found out how bad things really are. They moved the entire team of inspectors to the individual departments they were inspecting to slow us down , actually stopping us for inspections. Some of us were asked to sign workorders stating the work was complete and correct when we knew it wasnt. They force the team and electrical department to work 4 additional hours a day which amounted to 16 hour days 7days a week. With threats of being fired if we didnt. One Electrical inspector (extremely qualified ) refused and went home. One electrical inspector reported these charges to KBR Fraud and Abuse and management found out, he is now home. He was fired for opting out of the additional time. The total abuse and fraud that is being done by KBR is incredible. If you want proof we have it.

Why should KBR care is our troops get killed, they still get paid. It’s not like Bush or Cheney care about the troops anyway.

The fault lies ultimately with the American people.
They talk a good game about supporting the troops, but are too lazy to actually do anything beyond slapping a magnet on their vehicles.
A democracy needs an intelligent, interested and informed populace to sustain it.
I’m begining to doubt that there are enough Americans who meet that requirement to support a true democracy.
WAIT..WHO’S ON AMERCIAN IDOL TONIGHT?…I GOTTA GO!

Why should KBR care is our troops get killed, they still get paid. It’s not like Bush or Cheney care about the troops anyway. As long as that billion dollar paycheck arrives on time, our troops can die by the hundreds. Do you guys really think KBR gives a damn? They work for Cheney that should tell you something about them.

John McLain, the electrician who in 2007 told a visiting defense contracting agency official about his concerns over the logs, was fired shortly after the incident. Another employee “said his KBR bosses mocked him for raising safety issues.”

********************************************************

I think we can agree that this by itself strongly suggests that KBR is guilty of far more than mere criminal negligence, although that by itself would be bad enough. Firing someone in retaliation for calling attention to potentially fatal safety violations suggests deliberate malfeasance — and if KBR was engaging in these kinds of shenanigans here in the US, they’d have been hauled into court long before this.

You are so right. I really don’t think that Dick likes women. Why would any woman like him. I don’t even think that he likes him, much less women.

His daughter, impressive as she is, has foresaken men, speaks volumes about what she learned from Dick.

Dick would probably be mesmerized by the lavender and invite Hill to his hiddy-hole for a little hoochie cooch. He’ll flash a little Halliburton green as an aphrodisiac. Smitten, Hill will jump on Dick’s assets! (she’ll jump into any bed if it promises to go green). It’s her tax-free morality holiday!

Go green! (Oh Bill, STFU, my turn).

Better yet, those whales could troll Dick to Somalia for a little female circumcision.

He doesn’t believe it happens. What better learning tool than a sharp rock and first hand experience.

Problem is . . . these folks think that they are immune from prosecution . . . Problem is, the Bush Administration has adopted this fantasy. If you kill an American, or if you’re an American who kills a foreigner on foreign grounds, you are still subject to the jurisdiction of American courts.

Wake up contractors . . . with a new administration, this fallacy is going to be blown out of the black water.

Hague Convention may just kick in and kick your ass.

(Hee hee Dick, this could become your finest moment . . . remember when Saddam went down, might just be poetic if you met a similar fate). Nazi’s didn’t have a monopoly on crimes against humanity, if the criminal is American, justice must be blind.

Next time Dick goes duck hunting in Mexico, some out of work expatriat looking for migrant opportunities should snatch him, send him to Gitmo then to the Hague. Hopefully, Scalia will be riding shotgun. A twofer.

There are probably a couple of endangered whales that could enlist a few of their endangered friends and just troll Dick to Gitmo, saving the tax payers some chump change.

You got a problem with that? “So”

My only gripe with non wingnut Christians is that with very, very, very few exceptions they did nothing to keep this in the news the last 30 years.

What’s the legal term for this? Negligent Homicide?

dasm- Christians are not in lock step with this administration. You paint a broad brush. As a Christian I work towards peace.

Sorry to break it to you but christians and thier homophobia and anti-abortion wedge issues are the only reason that bush ever came to power. If you are a christian then you are the ones who should be making much more noise than I have heard for the death and destruction that has been done in your name……gop god’s own party!!! God told me to do it!!

The gop claims they own you and I have seen no evidence that they do not.

i had hope that congress would impeach at both especially cheney. as much as democrats fear losing the election this year, this needs to be done otherwise future presidents would follow suit
