Call Halliburton

Posted by Jon Mandle

Anyone care to explain this?

Only $366 million has been spent out of the $18.4 billion President Bush and Congress provided last fall for rebuilding Iraq, the
White House said yesterday.

I know just the company to burn through a few extra
billion
, if they’re looking.

Wow, nice to see my tax money is going to good use, instead of providing health care, helping out the poor, or helping everyone pay for college.

Oops, sorry for the double post.

That seems to give the lie to the idea that we’re fighting this war to benefit Bush and Cheney’s corporate cronies.
