2. This should be interesting...his last hurrah, so to speak.

I hope KBR & Halliburton come up!! :grr:

You're Welcome! :hi:

3. Me too! I must admit, I'm getting upset here about this, because even if there

will be (and I am sure will be) revelations about how much corruption there is, none of this will make it out to the light of day to the average American?

4. As usual, it will be bits and pieces maybe... PBS may report it I think.

I'm sure the average, harried, working American isn't aware of all the corruption specifically.
They know that things aren't good in Iraq (maybe) and that $12 Billion a month story was well
reported Imho but something like this will be another blip on the M$M, just like the 8 soldiers
killed yesterday were. :grr:
