He's no damn fool. He sees how lousy our economy is, even from halfway around the planet. Would you give up a cushy job -- even one in Iraq? -- to enter this job market? Think of it -- 1200 guys have blown through $300 million in a little less than 6 months and they have diddly-diddly-diddly-squat to show for it. That's something like $250,000 per man! Now their back with their hands out again, looking for another $600 to $900 million with no schedule. The task force could jettison most of its members (how many people do you need to find diddly-diddly-diddly-squat?), and each guy could pocket a clear couple of million take home!

Ask yourself, where's the money going? For rent on a bunch of trucks, for food and lodging for 1200 guys, for a case of children's chemistry sets ('cause I gotta ask, how sophisticated does your equipment have to be when you're testing diddly-diddly-diddly-squat?)? So what are we buying? If ever there was a 'pig in a poke'. . .
