Let us set the record straight. Did Halliburton get to provide the necessary private sector work for the military during the Iraqi War??? YES.... Was this done through a no-bid process? YES..... Why were they given this advanatage???? Thanks to LOGCAP - Logistics Civil Augumentation Program. This program began in 1985, however, at the time the individual commands actually determined who got the contracts. However, during the Clinton administration due to the downsizing of the forces, the contract was determined by the administration. Guess what, Halliburton was awarded the contract in 2000. Hmmmmmm that would mean that it is not Cheney who is the evil genius, but rather the Democrats very own honored PResident, Clinton himself. Hmmmm. I wonder, what did Hilliary know and when did she know it??????????
So get the facts straight, the whole reason there were no-bid contracts is because of the manuevering of the Clinton adminstration. Damn, sometime the truth really gets in the way of all the conspiracy theories, damn those stupid facts.
dmk Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles -Russell Kirk- |
