A Little Known Fact

Anyone seem to catch the tiny little story about a Russian arms trafficker connected with U.S. contractors, several being in Iraq? One of the companies is KBR, which, goddammit, has been responsible for racking up the $10 billion strawman in Iraq. Which still lines the pockets of Dick Cheney. Which still has overcharged millions (probably now billions) American taxpayers for services provided or not provided, depending on the service the government was so willing to pay for that it gave the contract out without any sort of competitive bidding. Do your homework; this is truly another matter of "snuffing out the evildoers" unless those evildoers happen to be doing us a favor.

Even John McCain's beginning the chant that Rummy's got to go. Where the hell does that neocon chickenhawk have the gumption to underfund and underman a war and then lash out at a soldier (granted, asking a planted question) that the army that fights a war is the one available, not the army one wants. Geesh. I'd hate to see how Rumsfeld feels about missile defense. Why update the damn thing, then, if we'll need to use the one we have, not the one we want? When he's removed from office, I'll sing in my neighborhood street. Hopefully it will be the day after Bush and Cheney are indicted on war crimes charges. Speaking of, raise your glasses and toast General Augusto Pinochet of Chile. While he won't go to jail, he's finally earned the charges of being a bastard to society. Now, if we can just get Henry Kissinger named a war criminal before he dies, it'll be the last great nail in Richard Nixon's coffin. Let's see, Watergate, Vietnam, war crimes!
