How is the message that Haliburton/KBR and others are profiteering off of this war at the expense of the blood and lives of countless Iraqis and Americans weak? To me that's so sinister and exploitative, and it underlines this administration's policy of an unprecedented amount of outsourcing many of the military's original jobs which has been highly detrimental to the strength and effectiveness of our armed forces, and is an instrumental part in us loosing this war.

Or have you just been trained to cover your ears and yell every time you hear the word "Halliburton" pronounced?
