KBR wins contract for work in Iraq

KBR has received its first contract for logistics services in Iraq under a new competitive bidding structure that ended its sole-source work, the Army said Tuesday.

Houston-based KBR won a one-year $571 million contract with four option years that, if exercised, could be as high as $2.8 billion, Army spokesman Dan Carlson said.

The contract calls for KBR to provide services including transportation and postal operations, he said in a statement.

KBR (Kellogg Brown & Root) is the former subsidiary of that eeeevil Halliburton, and is the company that was awarded those huge contracts during start of the 2003 Iraq offensives.  They’ve been around for some time, though. They also received contracts during WWII, Vietnam, post-Desert Storm, and I remember them being there with me in Kosovo too… but it was only under President Bush’s terms, there was outcry.

They’re the only company with the experience and man-power big enough to pull off the logistics that are requested by Uncle Sam, but when a Republican is in office, the libs cry-fowl – “Cheney!” “No bid contract!” “Evil big corporation!”

Will there by outcry this time?  Probably not. There wasn’t any under Johnson, or Clinton.. and what Party is Obama with? oh yes, that’s right…

How much does it cost us to fly Pelosi home on her Air Force party jet? $28,201 each way. In the last two years, she’s billed taxpayers over $2.1 million in travel expenses for her and her family, and over $100k was for inflight food and alcohol. No wonder she’s a fan of public transportation.

From AP, via the Richmond Times Dispatch:

TABOR CITY, N.C.  — A sheriff says a North Carolina state senator shot one of two intruders at his home and hospital officials say the man is in fair condition.

Multiple media outlets reported that Columbus County Sheriff Chris Batten said that 74-year-old Sen. R.C. Soles of Tabor City shot Kyle Blackburn late Sunday afternoon.

A spokeswoman at Loris Community Hospital in South Carolina said Monday that Blackburn was in fair condition.

Batten says the shooting occurred when two men went to the senator’s house and tried to kick in his front door. No charges have been filed.

The sheriff’s office said the State Bureau of Investigation was handling the case. A call to an agency spokeswoman was not immediately returned. There was no answer at a number listed for Soles’ home.

The Democrat has been in the Senate 32 years.

Long time Anti-Gun Advocate State Senator R.C. Soles, 74, shot one of two intruders at his home just outside Tabor City, N.C. about 5 p.m. Sunday, the prosecutor for the politician’s home county said.

The victim, Kyle Blackburn, was taken to a South Carolina hospital, but the injuries were not reported to be life-threatening, according to Rex Gore, district attorney for Columbus, Bladen and Brunswick counties…

The State Bureau of Investigation and Columbus County Sheriff’s Department are investigating the shooting, Gore said. Soles, who was not arrested, declined to discuss the incident Sunday evening.

“I am not in a position to talk to you,” Soles said by telephone. “I’m right in the middle of an investigation.”

The Senator, who has made a career of being against gun ownership for the general public, didn’t hesitate to defend himself with his own gun when he believed he was in immediate danger and he was the victim.

In typical hypocritical liberal fashion, the “Do As I Say And Not As I Do” Anti-Gun Activist Lawmaker picked up his gun and took action in what apparently was a self-defense shooting. Why hypocritical you may ask? It is because his long legislative record shows that the actions that he took to protect his family, his own response to a dangerous life threatening situation, are actions that he feels ordinary citizens should not have if they were faced with an identical situation.

It has prompted some to ask if the Senator believes his life and personal safety is more valuable than yours or mine.
But, this is to be expected from those who believe they can run our lives, raise our kids, and protect our families better than we can.

You right-wing aryan militia group member! Who do you think you are?! How dare you express dissent in your leaders!

What, do you think you live in a representative-republic, with with constitutional rights to free speech or something?  Psshh!

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, DEMOCRAT-Rhode Island: foes of health care bill are birthers, right-wing militias, aryan groups.

Anyone else find the irony in Senator Whitehouse’s name, funny?

You know it’s funny, when a Republican is in office, dissent is patriotic.  When a Democrat is in office, it’s racist to oppose them.  Hypocrisy, thy middle name is Liberalism!

House Committee Already Exempted Itself from Public Option

Not that anyone even watches MSNBC, I certainly didn’t see it, just saw the video clip on Youtube later from another source.  I didn’t even know who the guy was until I saw a name in the keyword tags of the video, so I’m actually propping up this unknown asshat I guess.

Liberals are tired of hearing Obama being labeled as a Socialist – So they are attempting to label Obama opponents as racists . “Socialist” is the new code for the “N-Word” – Leave it to MSNBC to concoct something this insane!   In the end though, it really shows who’s the racist.

They want us all to drive ‘green’ cars, and support the American automobile industry, yet there are some top Obama officials driving gas guzzling foreign made cars… And don’t forget our beloved ‘Car Czar’ Steve Rattner, who is currently forcing Obama’s green agenda on the American automobile industry, he drives a Mercedes!
