Did Contractor Expose Troops To Toxin?, CBS Evening News Exclusive: American Soldiers Are Dying Of Lung Cancer - And May Have Been Knowingly Exposed - CBS News

By John on December 24, 2008 9:10 AM | No Comments

KBR, a division of Halliburton, has done all matter of shady shit to our troops, at multiples of the cost it would take if the Army did these things themselves. They have not only done the jobs poorly, they have actively ignored safety issues and, in this case, poisoned our soldiers so that they are dying of lung cancer.

This reminded me of something I read earlier this month, that KBR also gave our soldiers filthy water, including using mortuary trucks to transport ice, that "still had traces of body fluids and putrefied remains" when they delivered ice to our soldiers.

THESE are the ilk that run with Cheney and company, the assholes that Bush makes us pay a premium for instead of getting the army to do the job themselves. We're paying WAY too much to Bush donors for work that is killing American soldiers.

GOP, still proud of yourselves? Hell, you probably don't even care.
