Aside from the fact that United Defense and the Carlyle Group are involved in both this contract and the Crusader program, I'm not sure I see the point.

My point is that, although the Crusader was a boondoggle, at least it was about defending the US, which happens to be one of the few constitutionally authorized duties of the federal government. My copy of the Constitution is missing the part where the republicrats in DC can steal my money and give to Egypt (or Israel or Liberia or...). Maybe you have a "new and improved" version that allows such things.
