Anyone who's been in Iraq will recognize KBR. Although I've heard the lefties like to call it "keep Bush Rich".

KBR (formerly Kellogg Brown and Root) NYSE: KBR is an American engineering and construction company, formerly a subsidiary of Halliburton, based in Houston. After Halliburton acquired Dresser Industries in 1998, Dresser's engineering subsidiary, M.W. Kellogg Limited, was merged with Halliburton's construction subsidiary, Brown and Root, to form Kellogg, Brown, and Root. KBR and its predecessors have won many contracts with the U.S. military during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, as well as during World War II and the Vietnam War. KBR is the largest non-union construction company in the United States.[citation needed] On April 15, 2006, Halliburton filed a registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission to sell up to 20 percent of its KBR stock on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). On November 16, 2006, KBR shares were offered for the public in an Initial Public Offering with shares priced at $17. The shares closed on the first day up more than 22 percent to $20.75 a share.[1] Halliburton announced on April 5, 2007 that it had finally broken ties with KBR, which has been its contracting, engineering and construction unit as a part of the company for 44 years.[2]

Of course this is why the Dems don't want to fund the Iraq effort. The money is going to private companies partly, who get the job done! The Dems like Reid and Pelosi do NOT want to get the job done, only Democrats have the annointed ability to get the job done ya know, and Republicans are to be PREVENTED from getting the job done.

Of course Americans can't cop to this Dem strategy of failure.? Boy are the Dems in for a very large wake up.

AND the Republicans are injecting a sizeable amount of cash into the Kenyan economy. Better than using the peace corps or foreign aid. This really gets the Dems angry.

GO KBR GO!

That's why they have those "automated urban driving" competitions; the idea is to automate resupply trucks, and then other stuff, later.

I guess these guys will fill in until then.
