3. So now the taxpayers are going to pay for more Exxon BP infrastructure under the guise

of military installations?

Guess that proves what this was all about to begin with. The people who pay the outrageous prices to take their kids out or run an independent trucking business or pay for supplies that are heavy that have gone through the roof - those people are now paying KBR so the oil companies can get more from us.

This is 2009. There is a new President.

Is the Pentagon still in charge of the country?

6. I just sent e-mail to WH asking why...

7. Don't ever tell me crime and corruption doesn't pay

It clearly pays - with the US government...and they do it with tax dollars.
