From LBN: Turkey was Halliburton turkey

[DeepModem Mom]

With thanks to Kskiska -- The item is from NY Post's Page Six gossip column (just ignore the obligatory NYP slant):

December 4, 2003 -- HERE'S something for paranoid pacifists to chew on: The turkey President Bush served to American soldiers in Baghdad last week was provided by a subsidiary of Halliburton, the Houston oil conglomerate once headed by Dick Cheney and cited by anti-war activists as proof that the war is more about profits than terrorism. The Hill weekly in D.C. reports that Halliburton's Kellogg Brown & Root, which is also rebuilding Iraq's infrastructure, is under contract to feed the U.S. Army there. Visitors who have sampled KBR's menu say it's good - good enough to lure Air Force personnel to sneak into Army mess tents at meal time. The Air Force does its own catering.

11. t'anks junk!

12. did you read the core Post article? .

it says no such thing. It's a real turkey...a real brazn photo-op, too but you make us ALL sound like idiots when you pretend details are there that are not there. Credibility mean never misrepresenting the facts, especially when DU is read by so many people.

Do you think if you say "plastic" enough, it will suddenly turn the turkey into "plastic?"
