That is the good old GOP way to wage war...make as much money as you can while you can, and hopefully either your work or the war itself will reduce the number of veterans who expect benefits..

GOP_forever - Perhaps you missed the point. American soldiers are being eletrocuted because of shoddy work. The U.S. isn''t afraid to spend money over there so why not hire "professionals?"

The irony is that there are probably dozens of electricians in each national guard unit who could repair all the bad work themselves if they just had some tools and wire...

Hiring a non-electrician to supervise electrical work and having that result in electrocution deaths would have brought manslaughter charges here in the US. When are the evildoers in these Bush disasters ever going to be punished?

(AP) Inferior electrical work by private contractors on U.S. military bases in Iraq is more widespread than the Pentagon has acknowledged, according to a published report.

Hey GOP how are those no-bid unsupervised contract working out for the American people.

You like this thank the fiscal family value party of god GOP. The train wreck the Republicans caused.
