Apparently, $35 million is the price of a no-bid oil contract in Iraq.

You know, in case you were in the market and all.

I'm just sayin'...

That was pretty stupid of them...on several counts. I don't have any problem awarding no bid contracts to US companies, provided there's a pledge of substantial kickback to the government to pay for war expenses.

But risking peace by awarding a contract before the framework is a really bad idea...and lying about it at all is pointless.

Fight the H8 in Your State



EclectaQuotes
Some folks sleep on a problem, but you can camp on one as well. Camping is for the mind what a high-speed run on the highway is for a car. It tends to blow out all the sludge that accumulates in the type of urban driving most of us are forced to do in order to earn a living.
-- Tim Cahill

To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art.
-- Francois de La Rochefoucauld

The most alarming sign of the state of our society now is that our leaders have the courage to sacrifice the lives of young people in war but not the courage to tell us that we must be less greedy and wasteful.
-- Wendell Berry
