[CatWoman]

1. you sure?

I didn't see that story in the intro.

[burythehatchet]

2. Yep, I saw it.

[CatWoman]

6. oh, ok

I see it's on.

Thanks.

[babylonsister]

4. It's on. nt

[burythehatchet]

5. I'm already feeling ill

this is going to be tough to watch

[babylonsister]

10. Surprise-more total ineptness from the cabal; I'm sick, too. nt

[burythehatchet]

3. Custer Battles only one being brought to justice so far

[Armstead]

7. Whoa -- So far ripping them up

"Accounting was non-existant."

[burythehatchet]

8. ...as I lower my thermostat to 58 degrees

:mad:

[FreedomAngel82]

12. It doesn't count if nobody counts it right?

Remember all that "missing" money? HA! It's not missing. It's in someone's back pocket.

[Hissyspit]

9. They have THREE 'negative Bush impact' stories

[CatWoman]

11. LOL

Even the bomb dog was incompetent!!!!

[burythehatchet]

14. You can't make this shit up

[babylonsister]

13. Why the hell aren't they in jail? nt

[FreedomAngel82]

15. Because they're making money for powerful people

[burythehatchet]

16. because they're repub cronies.

[babylonsister]

17. C-B had to have high political top cover. Hmmmm. nt

[babylonsister]

18. If 60 Minutes can dig this stuff up, why can't the justice department? nt

[burythehatchet]

19. come on...need you ask?

I have to turn this off because my blood pressure is skyrocketing

[NightHawk63]

20. You don't really want an answer to that do you? ;)

[Armstead]

32. Why can;t CNN, MSNBC...etc.?

Maybe a better question is why WON'T they?

[babylonsister]

35. Good point; perhaps this story will light a fire, though

I won't be holding my breath.

[gimama]

33. Inspector General said about 50 OTHER investigations going on

There are several sites dedicated to this, HalliburtonWatch.org,I recall, & the Citizens for Legit Govment has some..there has just been no CONGRESSIONAL oversite. The 'detective work', the 'paperwork' has been done FOR them,by concerned REAL People. Congress just need more persuasion, to do their dang jobs.and msm needs to be all over these crimes, high crimes,misdemeanors..

[burythehatchet]

21. 8.8 BILLION dollars

8.8 BILLION dollars
8.8 BILLION dollars!

[spanone]

28. Literally NO Oversight. Damn. Where did almost NINE BILLION GO???

Whew, that's a heap of money. OUR money.

[spanone]

30. ..and how much money was involved in White Water? 20 Grand?

[NightHawk63]

22. $8.8 Billion unaccounted for!!!!

And nobody seems to give a shit.

[G_j]

23. government has done NOTHING to recover $$$$

(so might as well cut programs for the poor)

[burythehatchet]

24. 17 minutes of coverage for that kind of money

this is just beyond belief. Thousands of people in NOLA living in tents.

[Lorien]

25. Wow-that was damning. Hopefully the rest of America will think of

this report as they read about cuts in medicare, meals for the elderly, education, and the selling of our national Parks for a few million in profit when 8 BILLION is just plain "missing". :grr:

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

26. Did they cover all the twentysomething young Repubs who were sent

over there to RUN the Coalition Provisional Authority?

Perhaps cover for the planned theft. I wonder how much of the money is in personal bank accounts, Republican campaign coffers, etc...

[Katherine Brengle]

27. is it already over? there's something about freezing embryos on now...

[burythehatchet]

31. Yep 17 minutes for 8.8 billion bucks

[gimama]

29. stay tuned,wounded OIF&OEF Vets up next..

"intrepid reporters"..God BLESS 'em!

[Sydnie]

34. Damn it - I missed it!

I just caught the embryo segment though.

We should all start having a funeral for any masses/organs that they remove from our bodies if we follow the logic of that one talking head. Sheesh!

[burythehatchet]

36. It seems like there's not much going right for Dear Leader

:scared:

[CatWoman]

[Sydnie]

40. Thank you CatWoman

I do appreciate that. I am not sure I would have thought of that. :hug: :hi:

[burythehatchet]

38. This is the most depressing 60 minutes EVER

talking about brain damaged vets now.

[burythehatchet]

39. what a sweet young lady

what a sick fucking war

[Hissyspit]

41. The soldier with the brain injury when asked if we should be in Iraq:

He hesitated - a LOT - then said something to the effect of: "We should be in Iraq... because the president has made that decision..."

That's the best he could come up with. Speaks VOLUMES.
