Guns and Money: Where Does It Go?

In Afghanistan. Courtesy of our good friends DynCorp and Blackwater. To the tune of $28.4 million in money and U.S. government-issued property, including armored cars and guns. That's a little more than 20 percent of the government property held by those two companies.

And just for fun, DynCorp also bought millions of dollars worth of pick-up trucks and motorcycles on the taxpayers' account.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.

Traitors

If you've been vocal about opposing the war in Iraq, or if you've been reading or hearing any of the war-hawk rhetoric, you are no stranger to the accusations that opponents are at best unpatriotic, and at worst, traitors.

I'll tell you who the traitors are, and I don't know why they aren't brought to trial. They're companies like Dyncorp, which we are hearing has sucked up $1.2 billion military (tax) dollars that are unaccounted for. And companies like KBR/Halliburton who've bilked the military for further billions. Did you know that Blackwater is getting about $900 per day per man in Iraq? (Did you know they have 180,000 men engaged - more than the 170,000 US soldiers deployed?) And while we're at it, Dyncorp and Halliburton are directly linked to the Bush family and Dick Cheney.

How is it not an act of treason to be cheating and bilking the US military as it fights a war?

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway. And you can get away with it if you're connected.
