The outrageous war-profiteering continues....

Everyone involved in these scams and others ahould be thrown into prison for about 20 years, their companies dissolved, if need be, in order for the money they have obtained by defrauding the American taxpayer should be returned to the treasury to pay of the huge debt Junior is running up daily.

President Bush submitted a request for an additional $110 billion to finance Iraq and Afghanistan operations. The supplement is likely to increase the total cost of the war in Iraq to $400 billion, about $400 billion off from former Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz's estimation. (Give or take.) Though none of this money will go to reconstruction.

(ed. note: Reconstruction is still desperately needed; a situation that is accuarately characterized by the crumbling buildings described in the Parsons post. The major problem was that the money went to corporate lackies of the White House who were only interested in increasing their bottom-line rather than producing quality work. That much is undeniable as defense contractors consistently tried to cut corners. Don't forget that these defense contractors are being paid for jobs that the U.S. military used to do, such as feeding soldiers, you know, food that isn't double-charged and water that isn't contaminated.)"
