Iraq...Contractors pulling the plug
Second fella I know over in Iraq working just got off the phone. He is headed home early and not by his choice. Turns out the contractors are sending their workers home because it is too unstable over there.

BTW: He was GS-11 before he went over. He has been a government employee for almost 20 years. Not sure of his current job title but he was a Nuclear Pipe Inspector when I met him

1. Or the contractors have already used all our tax-payer
dollars and want more.

2. But but but not only is freedom is on the march, it's within 36 hours
of giving Iraq a constitution!

Then again, with all these indictments coming down, maybe it's really MONEY the contractors are running out of...

3. THe BFEE has bankrupted the US Treasury and they can't even



pay their cronies like Halliburton any more. So the contractors are having to economize. Katrina was the big surprise Smirky didn't count on and now it's time to pay the piper.
