Clark Questions War-Related Windfall for Bush Backers; Calls for More Tran

[democratreformed]

Little Rock - The Bush administration has awarded U.S. companies up to $8 billion in contracts for postwar work-and perhaps much more. These companies have given more than $500,000 to the presidential campaigns of George W. Bush, according to a study released today by the Center for Public Integrity. The General Accounting Office is currently conducting two separate probes into these contracts.

Yesterday, the Bush administration announced an extension of Halliburton's no-bid contract in Iraq, even though Halliburton has been accused of gouging American taxpayers with an inflated bill for emergency oil imports.

"It is time for more transparency and less cronyism," General Wesley Clark said. "American taxpayers deserve no less. Leadership is about making the best deal for the American people, not extending sweetheart deals for supporters."

1. Clark's really been on fire the last couple of days.

And I really hope more people will speak up the same way.

3. I think it's great and it makes those who support him

very proud. We who read up on him and knew about Clark knew he would do this. He has the "gravitas" to pull it off too.

Seems to me he is going to speak his mind and damn the press, the lily-livered, and nay-sayers.

5. Amen, Nancy.

4. Clark has always been outspoken. I've never seen..

him bite his tongue on calling team bush on their treachery.

2. According to the "Librul Media" and....

Confederate Leftover Zell Miller, we should not be critisizing Bush but supporting him no matter what he does!
