"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.

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.”

Their pathetic emotions are relevant?

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.

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.

How about the death penalty for anyone who fudges on their tax return?
Death penalty for any government employee or contractor caught embezzling, misusing tax dollars?
Death penalty for anyone who knowingly commits fraud of any sort?

$6 Billion is a huge number -but what percentage is it of total spending? Even local govt spending has 2-5% fraud or more built into it.

Members of the House Armed Services Committee said Thursday they were saddened and appalled at the number of military officers and civilian officials implicated in as much as $6 billion in contract fraud in Iraq and by the mismanagement that left 190,000 weapons intended for Iraqi security forces unaccounted for. OH PLEASE! Stop the feigned shock... These RATS piss away much more than that on useless pork.
To: AuntB
Disgusting.
Chalk this up as yet another reason why Bush has boggled Iraq.
To: AuntB
They must never heard of “baksheesh” (sp?).
It’s in the same catagory as earmarks and lobbiests. Of course, if the US politicians do it, it’s a different story.
