Arbusto Energy . . . yet another company that George W. Bush ran into the ground. I'm sure it's just a coincidence that this guy -- WHO WAS INDICTED BY OUR JUSTICE DEPARTMENT -- got this huge contract, right?
It's like the Bushies aren't even trying to hide it anymore.

No matter if your an indicted Saudi businessman, this administration will do business with you. Is the US military that stupid or corrupt in awarding contracts? Don't answer that, it was a rhetorical question that's answer is obvious to most of us. Our militay can't do enough to supply our troops with the best weapons and equipment and take care of the wounded and disabled but can award taxpayer's money to an indicted businessman.
