It
looks like
War Profiteering is alive and well in Iraq.
Today, the three top auditors monitoring work in Iraq provided new details to the
Committee on Oversight and Government Reform,
about the status of Iraq reconstruction projects and troop support contracts.
Basically,
billions of taxpayer dollars have been wasted in Iraq, with little or no accountability. And
Halliburton President Bush is asking for more.
Can someone explain to me why President Bush threw out the rule against war profiteering, which prohibits awarding contracts to "companies exhibiting a pattern of breaking the law in performance of government contracts," when he came into office?
