"Told that those brigades were just being formed two years later, Hunter said, "That's half the time it took us to win World War II."

"You may be moving in the right direction, but you're moving slowly," he said.

“Dishonesty is not a reflection of manning levels,” Hunter said.

an absolute disgrace. Those responsible should be jailed.

But hey, the responsbile party has an “R” next to their name so let’s let this story disappear down the memory hole and keep cheerleading! (sarcasm off)

Re: the first sentence of the article:

They were “saddened.”
What the hell does that mean?
Their pathetic emotions are relevant?
Boo friggin hoo

I guess we'll have to check the party membership of the individual crooks, too.

You know, it is really refreshing that Congressman Hunter uses his position as a bully pulpit rather than empty campaign promises as conditions of getting elected.

“saddened and appalled”

“Saddened and appalled that they’re not getting their cut of the pie.

Take a look at the spending by domestic government agencies at the federal and state levels. I’m sure that they will be able to account for every dollar spent as we all know that our government employees are saints and have superior knowledge how to get the most for our precious tax dollars.

Sounds like they are finding the cheats and skimmers and prosecuting them? Yes?

Remind me again, which political party has been in control of the DOD, who hired said contractor crooks, since 2001?

Are you serious? Because the whole rotten structure is corrupt (which it is) this boondoggle is somehow kosher?

Is it any wonder why the end to this war is nowhere in sight? There are too many at all levels and on both sides that are getting wealthier every day this war continues.

This bad spending, etc. out of DOD was under the guidance of one David Norquist, yes, brother of Grover Norquist, WH top advisor on immigration, trade, muslim affairs, etc. . After he fouled that up, he was appointed by Pres. Bush to the job of head financial officer of Homeland Security.

So, your plan is to clean it all up? Personally?

Maybe we should elect more Democrats as the Republicans are the party of corruption?

Just wondering.

Clearly, congress is upset that they aren’t getting a taste of the action. If you haven’t noticed wiseguys that don’t share get hit.

Well, just keep wondering. What are you going to do to clean it up? Keep pretending no republicans have a hand in this nonsense?
