American taxpayers and the military have been swindled, defense contractors are to blame
Wow! This Robert Greenwald documentary about how Dick Cheney, Halliburton, KBR, Blackwater, Titan and CACI have used their lobbying influence and special favors to those in George W. Bush's Whitehouse and the Congress is quite an eye-opener. To hear about how badly these no-bid, cost-plus contracts are mismanaged at the expense of the U.S. taxpayer is almost maddening... until it's revealed how badly these company's took care of their own (writing off their employees as expendable/replaceable). It was at that point in watching this film that I began to feel sick to my stomach. But, even worse than that... this film was released TWO YEARS AGO. And now we have the Wall Street financial crisis and the government bailout of the same Fortune 500 companies whose greed is evident in Iraq and Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, in the oil production industry, and everywhere else in the world.
For God's sakes people, register to vote... AND VOTE! How many more American men and women have to die in the Middle East so that more of these scumbag CEO's can retire with a fat pension?
