This is one of the most impressive and comprehensive exposes on the Iraq war. It disscusse the billions of dollars given out to contractors by the U.S government wasted, stolen, doled out to make believe companies, paid to insurgents, lost, not used on the right equipment, in the hiring of men qualified to restor refrigiration unit's, working on Humvees, The beyond shoddy construction of hospitals, recon bases for troops.

It is a long article but i implore you to read it as it is critical in understanding the complete corruption in the relationship between the U.S administration and it's many contractor co-horts KBR,Blackwater, Halliburton and hundreds more.

If i were an American i would be incensed

I wasn't sure which topic to put this in. Is there not one soley for the war in Iraq?

But since your not American, where's your beef?

Being an ATS member, you could help bring a lot of global attention to your own governments "graft" problems.

Don't you want to help get info about your country out in the open so that those problems get resolved too?

Not that there is anything wrong with posting the info you did.

Just curious.
