4. So the Halliburton subsidiary gets the contract, pays Bush
a kickback in the form of campaign contributions and then fails to deliver the housing so the soldiers live in mud.

This is called supporting our troops.

<<The Army had $8 million in contracts for troop housing in Iraq sitting idle, Mahan said. "Our ability to move (away) from living in the mud is based on an expectation that we would have been able to go to more contractor logistical support early on," Mahan said.>>
