Well look who’s got a huge (no bid?) contract in Iraq…
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…
Remember how the left constantly made fun of Bush, over his pronunciation of nuclear? Well say what you will, but at least HE knows the difference between corps and corpse.
It was twice on that video, and as I understand it from the news reporting, a total of three times, so it really is how he thinks you say corpsman.
Say it with me now, Mr. President… corpsman… “kohr-muhn”. If you’re still not sure, click on the last link and then the little speaker icon beside the word.
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.

More of your tax dollars at work… NPR airs anti-tea party animation, using sexual explicit “tea bag” phrase to degrade honest American citizens holding a peaceful civil protest of government spending.
New Animation: ‘Learn to Speak Teabag’
We should hold another protest over spending on partisan liberal radio broadcasts!
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!
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!
This is so idiotic, I’m just speechless…
This is the face of liberalism.. and I seriously weep for the future…
Random observation/thought: here’s a great example of free enterprise vs government run: I just heard that schools will be closing tomorrow, even though they’ve had all day today without snowfall to get plowing done. The Eagles game played on this afternoon, and the airport (hit with 2 feet of snow) had planes running today.
Government doesn’t need to make a profit, there is no direct goal for it to strive. On the other hand, no money is made with a closed football field, or planes just on the ground; capitalism won that round.
Keep that in mind, as Democrats continue to try and get government run health-care through the system. If there is no competition, no motivation to stand out, to achieve success. Do you think it’s going to be cheaper for you? Do you think it’s going to be more efficient? Will we see the same level of scientific innovation? Will it be a better experience overall? The answer, is no…
Wait… what? I though WE went to war for oil? So does this put that argument to bed? probably not, it’s still George Bush’s fault, i’m sure.

uhh… Whiskey Tango Foxtrot… now we’re celebrating communism??!?!
Empire State Building turns red-yellow for China’s 60th
(AFP) – 19 hours ago
NEW YORK — New York’s iconic Empire State Building will light up red and yellow Wednesday in honor of the 60th anniversary of communist China.The Chinese consul, Peng Keyu, and other officials will take part in the lighting ceremony which will bathe the skyscraper in the colors of the People’s Republic until Thursday, Empire State Building representatives said in a statement.
The upper sections of the building are regularly illuminated to mark special occasions, ranging from all blue to mark “Old Blue Eyes” Frank Sinatra’s death in 1998 to green for the annual Saint Patrick’s Day.
Just last week the tower turned bright red.However, that was not to mark some other communist achievement, but the 70th anniversary of the film “The Wizard of Oz” in which Dorothy wears ruby slippers rather than the silver of the original L. Frank Baum novel.
I guess it makes sense, considering our continued move toward socialism in this country – that we would celebrate as comrades-in-armsdebt of this glorious occasion. And what better place to show our pride, than use a classic American icon as the platform.
I wonder if Obama’s gonna light up the White House, and post commie flags around the property, to mark the occasion too.
How’s that Hopey-Change workin’ out for you?
