Name one!

Bechtel.

Want more? Some of the companies currently aiding in the war effort as private contractors, but in a much smaller capacity, and not under no-bid contracts.

Awwww isn’t this cute:
First, it appears rogerse(rogerdo,rogerdrunk,rogerreallydrunk) has finally passed out! Hopefully, when he awakens, his “buzz” will be gone, and after a couple of Advil and re-hydration, he can formulate a complete sentence with actual words used in the English language!

And then there’s lock_box(and run quickly away from the big black scary gay man), who instead of apologizing for not understanding correctly about NO BID CONTRACTS, turns the conversation into the unsubstantiated claim “Progressives are racist, because I said so”.
Here’s how a normal person would have responded…
I was not aware the Halliburton had a no bid contract. I thought they were the only company that had the qualifications. I did not, by any means, intend to offend the military, and I realize I should have spent more time researching the material before “debating”. I apologize for my behavior, and will learn from this lesson.

Of course, a normal person doesn’t have cheeto stains on his c*ck_box, either!

Sorry to interrupt, this is a little off topic but this is lock box’s Mom and I need to apologize for his rude behavior. There’s a reason for it and I hope that you can show some compassion. When LB was but a child his father left us for his other cousin, younger than I and she had more teeth. I was left to fend for myself and I resorted to the “oldest profession” to keep LB in cereal and food on the table, plus a little left over for the crack pipe.

Little LB was so cute, he used to clean me up for the next client and his little tongue was so gentle. Especially after I had been hit in the behind, which is also an explanation for his continued support for Bush, he likes to kiss ass.

Anyway, be easy on my little guy. I have tried to get him some professional help, but until he does, or until the law catches up with him, you are just going to have to live with his ramblings. Please just flag him on sight, and all the other names he posts under.

Thanks so much.

If you can speculate on the level of racism with everyone that disagrees with you I can do the same with you. I believe that

Progressives are the most racist group of people out there. And because you’re on this site disagreeing with me, I assume you are progressive.

And you base that statement on what? Where is your proof? Which group of politicians is so afraid of a black man as President? Last I looked, it wasn’t the republics. Who has almost all of the Blacks support? If we are so ‘racist’, why would they be heavily Dem?

And as for me, you have NO idea about my position on race. SO, don’t ass-ume anything, OK?

I will admit to being bigoted; against blindly loyal Repug NeoCon Bush ass-lickers, that I will admit to.

Guess I should have said they seem to be going especially out of their way today to show their continued or increasing ignorance?

Okay, that’s fair.

Either lie_box doesn’t know that a Hallibuton truck driver gets 10 times the pay of a soldier doing the same job, or he does know that, but he hates our troops.

Lock_jaw-
Where is your proof that no other company could have out-bid Halliburton?
There is none… ’cause this was a NO-BID CONTRACT… see how this works?
The proof that the military was capable of suppling the troops is of course the fact that they had been doing it for the past 100 years or so…

So if the military was capable of doing the job that Halliburton was contracted to do why are they not doing it?

Because of troop shortages for one.

IF this “war” was the “Ultimate Fight for Our Way Of Life” why don’t we have a draft? Our Leader Guy would rather have us “go shopping.” Some sacrifice.

And two, Cheney’s Halibuton gets to rake in obscene profits.

Don’t you see the inherent conflict of interest that’s at work here ?

The VP is rewarding his company at the expense of the US taxpayer ; and they are responsible for shoddy work and intentionally bilking the US taxpayer for even more money through scams……………..What part of any of that should be found acceptable ?

Lock_box, are you debating?
Seems like you’re running from the debate…
