Bring Me The Head Of Bob Gates

by Steve Soto

Which is more alarming about the stories surrounding Dick Cheney/Halliburton spinoff KBR's work in Iraq?

1. They engaged in massive fraud and poor work in Iraq.
2. They managed to get an Army overseer fired for blocking payments.
3. KBR and the Pentagon never fixed the shoddy work since 2004.
4. Thirteen Americans have been electrocuted and several killed as a result of KBR's negligence.
5. Defense Secretary Bob Gates was told about this, and nothing changed.
6. The Army and Pentagon still gave KBR a 10-year, $150 billion extension this year anyway.
7. Barack Obama thinks Bob Gates would make a great Defense Secretary.

What outrages you the most? Oh, that's right. What disappoints you the most is that I would dare to question Obama's judgment about Gates.

Sorry.
