File this one under Un-#$%@#*&-believable - TPM

[remfan]

Let me introduce you to New Bridge Strategies, LLC. New Bridge is 'Helping to Rebuild a New Iraq' as their liner note says.

-snip-

A 'unique company'? You could say that. Who's the Chairman and Director of New Bridge? That would be Joe M. Allbaugh, President Bush's longtime right-hand-man and until about six months ago his head of FEMA. Before that of course he was the president's chief of staff when he was governor of Texas and campaign manager for Bush-Cheney 2000.

3. I will be 6 feet under and you all will be trying to find out the ....

greed of this group. They really are crooks.

4. The Federal coffers have been opened up to patrons and

buddies to such an extent as to be unbelievable. And no accountability.

5. Bremer just said the money will be spent well

and fairly.

He said he has faith in his colleagues and in himself, or something like that, that there won't be any sweetheart deals.

6. I would like to say it surprises me.

These guys have no shame whatsoever. They pull shit that would make a weasel blush in disgrace.

Imagine that. Last night we told you about Joe Allbaugh, President Bush's longtime right-hand-man who just opened a company to get into the Iraq contract business. And last week we told you about how Undersecretary of Defense Doug Feith's old law firm, Feith & Zell, has now opened a new division specializing in hooking up clients with the sweetest deals in Iraq. Feith & Zell is now Zell, Goldberg & Co, though they haven't yet gotten around to changing their website address, which is still www.fandz.com.

Well, there's more.

Let me introduce you to the Iraqi International Law Group, a new outfit ready to help you secure contracts for rebuilding Iraq. And let me also introduce you to the head of IILG, Salem Chalabi.
