Here is NO paragon of misunderstanding! The handwriting is on the wall for all to see.......as shameful as it gets,also. "Hey, remember that wacky joyride the U.S. Navy gave last February to a bunch of Texas oil men and big contributors to a foundation chaired by former President George Bush Sr.? Remember how the submarine, with the fat cats playing around at the controls, surfaced into a Japanese fishing boat and killed nine people, including four teenagers? Well, little George was really sorry about his and Daddy's pals killing those Japanese kids and all, so he promised to salvage the boat from the bottom of the sea and send the bodies home to Japan at last. Little George was so sorry, in fact, he put aside $40 million for the project, Reuters reports. So guess which private company got the big contract to haul the boat away? The Halliburton Corporation! You remember, that's where little George's bestest buddy, Bang-Bang Cheney, used to work, the place that paid Cheney $36 million last year as a going-away present for manipulating his old contacts from Daddy's administration to land great big government contracts for the company. Now guess what? The salvage project has hit a few glitches, so it looks like it will cost even more than $40 million now, and that means lots more federal money in Halliburton's coffers! Ah yes, friends and family, that's all that really matters, isn't it?" --Chris Floyd, 9/4/01
