The question is why is the Pentagon even CONSIDERING giving KBR ANY futere contracts--they should be kicked out of the Pentagon permanently. No bid contracts---what a racket war is....

cptenaud summed it up. There are so many areas of abuse, all the Bush mob will be dead and buried before the inquiries finish. I'm not saying that will be a bad thing, mind you.
