    Traitorous Scum! And since this war is bush’s war, the Republicans run interference. Were this a Democrat war, the roles would simply be reversed. They are just about ALL, Traitorous Scum, both parties! But Caroline will still think the Democrats are the good guys. And the blind Republicans will go on hating the Democrats. All are being manipulated!

    FYI

    SENATOR FEINSTEIN MUST GO!!!

    It is not enough that she just resign her chair on the military committee for abusing her power to enrich her family. The Democratic lawmakers ran on a “culture of corruption” in 06. If they mean what they say FEINSTEIN SHOULD RESIGN FROM THE SENATE! Can anyone give a good reason why Feinstein should still be in the Senate? Thanks Mike for the hat tip!

    CC-A veteran California senator has resigned as chair of a powerful military construction committee after reports that for years she abused her position to award her husband’s companies billions of dollars in government contracts.

    During her six years as chair and ranking member of the Military Construction Appropriations subcommittee, Senator Dianne Feinstein annually supervised the appropriation of billions of dollars for specific military construction projects. The San Francisco lawmaker supervised her own staff of military construction experts and she lobbied Pentagon officials to support her favorite projects.

    She wielded quite a bit of power and succeeded in steering hundreds of billions of dollars in military contracts to companies partially owned by her wealthy husband, Richard Blum. One company alone earned $792 million from military construction and environmental cleanup projects approved by Feinstein’s committee and another $759 million.

    When they’re talking to us it’s “fighting terror” but behind closed doors it’s “cost plus”. This is all just sick and disgusting.

  4. Fienstein is a hack.

    Bill & Al I agree!

    Hugh,

    Were this a Democrat war, the roles would simply be reversed.

    Would you care to name the war Democrats started, based on a lie, for the purpose of profit? Don’t bother with Vietnam; the Viet Minh were founded in 1941, Bao Dai declared independence in 1945, the French fought there until 1954 and we were part and parcel of the whole thing throughout the Eisenhower Administration.

    David,
    How about our attack on Kosovo!

  8. Bill says:

    Hugh
    BINGO!! And the only reason I haven’t done more on “depleted uranium” (which we used in Kosovo) is the images are pretty disturbing.

    Hold the press!

    I can’t believe what I’m reading on this conservative site!

    Are you all suggesting that a free market solution has actually cost the taxpayers more money than a government-run program would have cost?

    I can’t believe it. This blog has turned into a socialist lounge.

    Mission accomplished.

    Bush/Cheney ‘08!

    David

    Do you think Fienstein is a hack?

    Captain
    “No bid contracts” and pretty much anything which involves taxpayer money to private corporations isn’t the free market. We’re talking “sticky markets” here. And from the video it looks like many areas can be covered by our own troops. Why don’t we give THEM a pay raise?
