It's dated back to '03, but discusses the BS that has been floated around about Haliburton. Don't you find it ODD that Clinton went against the LOGCAP award structure during his presidency and went with KBR/Haliburton just because they felt that Dyncorp (the LOGCAP contract holder at the time) couldn't do HALF the job the KBR/haliburton could?

Or is this a case where you will "laud" Clinton for going against the contract in support of "Big Oil" and then turn around and chastise Bush for following procedure?

If so, grab your "hypocrisy" cap and slap it on for the remainder of Bush's term in office...

That's not to say they haven't screwed up in places or pulled some zingers every now and then, but the brush that many idiots paint them with is far too broad and entirely partisan...

Do a search on LOGCAP and take a look through the GAO website if you are "willing" to learn more.
