There is so much involved in his mess it is mind boggling! I am so pissed over this I can't believe they are trying to get us to believe the crap they are spewing that is deeper than the literal shit in the Superdome! When you look at the whole picture which is sarting to evolve.

More info maybe of interest, Jude.

Please read; under allegations of fraud; below only part of what they have been accused of doing. And Cheny owns lots of stock in Halliburton! Think any favoritism here?

The recorded interviewer asked, "Are you saying that Halliburton deliberately falsified the number of meals they prepared and then submitted false claims for reimbursement and that they did this to make up for past amounts auditors had disallowed?" Mayberry firmly answered "yes." He said that serving expired food rations was "an everyday occurrence, sometimes every meal." He also explained that Halliburton systematically overcharged for the number of meals as well, saying, "they were charging for 20,000 meals and they were only serving 10,000 meals." Dorgan later commented, "obviously there's no honor here, by a company that would serve outdated food to our troops in Iraq."

Mayberry also claimed would-be whistleblowers were threatened "to be sent to Falluja" and other "places under fire" if they talked to media or governmental oversight officials. In 2003 and 2004, Falluja had been well known as dangerous for foreign troops and civilians. "I personally was sent to Falluja for three weeks. The manager told me that I was being sent away until the auditors were gone, because I had talked to the auditors," Mayberry said.

And my question is, these people get this job of clean up,to a mess that could have been on a lesser scale, had money been appropriated for building up those levees, but went to Iraq. They get money off the war and now money off this diaster because they didn't do everything they could o help prevent it! Probably also a no bid job and we're supposed to believe that Cheny and others aren't profiting off the deaths and desperation in he Southern US right now?

I wasn't born yesterday. Something stinks and it isn't he dead bodies in New Orleans.

Saw that as well yesterday, I'm not exactly sure how or why anyone is surprised by it though. I'll say this though, they've sure got balls. This is the only Administration that has ever puffed out its collective chest and been so 10' tall & bulletproof - but of course, no one's shooting THEM.
