Halliburton got nailed for fraud on those Clinton era contracts but Bush and Ashcroft let them off the hook and threw more money at them. Crooks of a feather.

So midder, you really think the troops are there now, in large part, because of a competitive US Army contract (base contract awarded 2001, order issued against contract 2003)initiated during the Clinton era?? Thats a pretty far reaching conpsiracy - especially since Cheney divested much earlier. “Less incentive for Bush to keep the troops there of Halliburton gets cut off.”

Dems don't want to be saddled with 'surrender'. Now that they suckered money from the Kool Aid / Human Shield left, when it counts they will act more sanely. Question is what will they really try to do. Realistically they have a very narrow, veto-prone majority; and many of their newly elected members campaigned as centrists. It may never be anything more than minimum wage - which I expect Repubs to back also. Agree on Iraq. Dems don’t want to be saddled with ’surrender’.
