It wasn’t good. Blackwater just got some news. It wasn’t good. Both probably rue the day George Bush walked out of the White House and Dick Cheney was wheeled away.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.commondreams.org/view/2009/02/07-6"><P>KBR has done <A href="http://humanraceandothersports.com/columns/437/kbr-revisited-again" target="_blank" class="external">more things wrong</A> in Iraq than most people can hope to keep track of but not so many that George and Dick couldn’t find it in their hearts to forgive it its errant ways. KBR had a food service contract to feed the troops in Iraq and charged millions for food it never served. It was paid $75.7 million for building a pipeline it didn’t build. It failed to deliver safe water for hygiene uses. Since Mr. Bush invaded Iraq KBR has been paid more than $40 billion and has 40,000 employees in Iraq. Iraq has been a gold mine for the company and a black hole for U.S. taxpayers. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/C836B596-3825-4AC8-9681-8458FC0193CE/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
