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…

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.

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!

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…

From Maxine Waters to Barney Frank…on video in 2004, on record.. in their own words… Democrats denying there are any problems, fraud and pending doom of the housing market (and economy as a whole by proxy):

well… second to the King of Denial, that wasn’t watching the returns of the election he help campaign for, or was completely unaware of the protests that were happening right outside his house.

Nancy Pelosi: “we won!”

*snicker* *snicker*

Out of touch much?

Synopsis…

Woman: Why were Republicans able to pass through legislation when they had a majority, and Democrats can’t now that they are?

Van Jones: “They answer to that is… they’re assholes.”

Typical liberal response to a real question – respond with insults, instead of real facts….
