What nobody is asking Bush is how the Quartermaster Corps got the door slammed in their face in favor of corrupt corporations. During all the 4 years of WWII when I served in Europe we never went hungry, even in the face of many thousands of Nazi troops and tanks. Sometimes the meals were not courment, K-rations, C-rations, etc. but even in the trenches and foxholes the Quartermaster corps fed us. HOw in H... did the President privatize a very fine system and replace it with corrupt, crooked, people who exploit menial help, but take off with large amounts of cash that "get lost". How come Bush has never ordered an investigation of Millennium? Did it have anything to do with Dick Cheney who was once CEO of Millennium. And how did they get in the act without usual stiff government contracts?
The answer is obvious: Bush and his thugs are corrupt and want to share the loot with their buddies. Not a single Republican Senator has asked for a rigorous investigation as the corporations fill their campaign budgets with tons of money. The neo-cons feel no shame as they are getting wealth from corruption and are delighted to let the war continue as long as the money flows into their pockets. The values of our democracy are being eaten away by thugs, thieves, scam artists and no one seems to be doing much about it.
