We Really Need To Bitch More !!! (Great Iraq Swindle Story)

[WillyT]

The first night this story broke, if you put the title into the Google search engine, you would get one page of stories on the web referring to the story in Rolling Stone magazine. If you used it to search in Google news, you got 3 references to it, that's it.

Now... if you do the same, you get 13 or 14 pages of references on the web (until you run into the rightwing 'The great Global Warming Swindle'). But... there are only those 3 lonely posts from the news side, same as the first night. Apparently... the MSM does not want anything to do with this story.

Any chance we could change that???

3. Our tax dollars at work

I have heard bits and pieces about government waste and poor services provided by contractors in Iraq, but they were reported as isolated instances. This article links these instances together and shows they are by no means isolated.

Ripping off taxpayer's money and raiding the treasury has become the overriding culture that has invaded the Pentagon, been encouraged by the White House, and ignored by the media. It is a perfect example of why there used to be laws preventing war profiteering. Now we just need Congress to investigate these contracts, enforce the laws, and actually take action to get our money back and hold the people accountable that let this happen.

Republicans are quick to scream that Democrats want to cut and run when they discuss not voting for funding. However, if this is how our money is being spent in Iraq, the people that voted to fund the war should be kicked out of office.
