Reply #9: Watch for MORE shit like this ...

... the Bush Regime has to come up with lots of 'necessary' projects to award to Halliburton/KBR before they're out of office.

I don't think it's as sinister as it appears. It's just a way to funnel more taxpayers' dollars into the hands of their cronies. They realize that even if they manage to get another Repub into the WH in 2008 (Doubtful, IMHO), the new guy won't be as beholding to Halliburton as the present pretender.

It's like the multi-million dollar, state-of-the-art morgue that was built to handle Katrina casualties. They're already dismantling it, after it being in existence for just a few months. But Halliburton already cashed the cheque for building it -- so what do they care?

I'm calling it now: Within months of the BushBaby being out of office, there will be an announcement that he's been hired by Halliburton as a 'consultant' or a 'member of the board', at an exhorbitant stipend, for which he will show up at a shareholders' meeting for fifteen minutes annually.

It will be his 'payback' for the money he's managed to put in their pockets during his tenure in office.

That's the Bu$hCo mantra: "Leave no billionaire behind."
