1. I heard the NPR report |
|
A complete shakedown.
The Iraqi businessmen were in shock that payolla is now the official US method of getting a domestic contract.
Shameful. :puke:

3. The Busheviks are teaching the Iraqis how they do baksheesh |

The Iraqi surprise, no doubt, is that they probably hoped for a less corrupt and rigged system to move to after Saddamonomics.
But Bushonomics and Saddamonomics, while one embraces a socialist and one embraces a "free-market" rationale, are very much alike.

Give me $7,500 a month to get on my "list" and maybe you'll get some contracts.
Probably a complete scam.
