GAG ME WITH A SPOON

The U.S. Army said on Tuesday it had awarded $72 million in bonuses to Halliburton Co. for logistics work in Iraq but had not decided whether to give the Texas company bonuses for disputed dining services to troops.

This is just disgusting. The Gag Me With A Spoon type of disgusting. We have families taking up contributions to send body armor to their loved ones in Iraq, states such as Oklahoma creating specialty license plates to help purchase body armor for Oklahoma’s military personnel, and the Marines recalling the armor they already have over concerns they won't stop bullets, all this because OF LACK OF FUNDS. But Dumbya's narrow-minded government deems it appropriate to give Hali(fuckmeinthebutt)burton $72 million dollars, not for work done by contract, but as a BONUS! Yep, kiddies, Hali(youknowthedrill)burton gets the bonus, and the soldiers get ZIPPO! Now that's what I call patriotic.

And NO ONE is getting mad over this? You would think those families who have loved ones in Iraq, you know those soldiers who face death every day, would be pissed that there is NO MONEY for proper armor, but there is PLENTY OF MONEY to award Hali(yeah,fuckmemoreinthebutt)burton a $72 million dollars bonus.
