too much control in the high level governments, blackwater, haliburton, aegis will continue to conduct operations their own way until someone in the bush administration confronts them about it. and collin powell retired already.

hey, there's 2 sides to this- think of all the $ halliburton made off of saving that chlorine! And if you ask a right winger, they'll tell you that increased savings from CEOs gets passed down to us, the consumer! It trickles down, you see, in increased job opportunities.

Of course if you actually believe such tripe, you're dead from the neck up. But that appears to be about 50% of the voting populace in the US.

it says something about the government when they can't even get a decent company to make sure there water is alright, sure they can spend million of dollars on nuclear weapons that are there for scare purposes, but providing the men and women on the front lines fighting for america, with chlorine to make sure their water is safe, thats just to much hard fucking work for a systermatically flawed government to get off there ass and do something about.

I don't know why Americans have short-term memory. CIA already got 50,000 US Soldiers to be addicted to Cocaine and Heroin since they operated the drug labs in neighboring countries of Vietnam.

They are doing it. They are counting on you NOT remembering and NOT reading about it.

Because our shitty media drops important stories at the first glimpse of Hollywood drama. Iraq soldiers dying? Fuck them, lets run a month of Anna Nicole Smith on FUCKING CNN. And oh, look! Bush has trouble talking, lets make fun of his speaking skills while we ignore the atrocities he's committing, ha! Fucking hilarious! :|

damn, whose side is halliburton on anyway?

it's not that I don't empathize for the troops cause I do. But Albert Eiestein once quoted "The pioneers of a warless world are those who refuse military service."

All of us know Iraq is once bullshit money scam spent with American lives. So why then do soldiers go over there? If you say because its their "job" or its their "duty" then watch this video again. If you worked for an employer who is known for killing your fellow employees to get richer how many of us would work for that person?

Secondly, its the government. If you still haven't woken up and realized that this country has been sold and paid for by pitching the old system overboard 40 years ago then you are just another pawn for "Big Brother" to control.

its honestly bullshit, the military should take care of its own logistics, not throw money at some private company ( of course not just any private company, its cheney's company) to do jobs that the soldiers could do themselves. Why spend ridiculous amounts of money too feed soldiers when you could have soldiers working the mess cooking and serving chow or doing laundry...

...anyone know how much haliburton's stock has gone up?

ya know, when i was in iraq(2004-2005.5) @ Tuz airbase, we could smell the clorine in our water! it was nuts! BUT... KBR, Haliburton, was no where to be seen. we had to get and decon our own shower water. We had bottled water for drinking but damn! if you want it done right you got to do it your self i guess. i feel for the boys and girls over there now! God Bless you all!

We are told to not drink our bathing water. We are told to not even brush our teeth with the stuff. We are told it is contaminated. Right from the get go we are told these things. We are told there are some bad things in the tap water. We use bottled water to brush our teeth. At least that is what we are told to do. The Military is not as uninformed as that guy thinks we are.

What you all just saw was propaganda. If you believe it, then you are just not very well informed on how things actually take place over in Iraq.

Back in 04-05, the job KBR (That is who actually does the contact work in Iraq) was pretty good. They constantly worked outside of what they were required to do. In 06, they have now taken so many punches by the media...they wont touch a thing that their contract doesnt specifically say they can. Which does not do a whole much for anyone not at the main Operating bases over there. I would consistantly try to get them to do things that no military members had the expertise to do, but thanks to all the hits the media and general public they have taken, their employees will get fired if found out.

Here could be another reason for no cholorine in the water. They probably were not responsible for putting it in the water. It very well could be my own bretheren in the military not doing it. I dont know. But I know I and my friends know NOT to drink that water. Or open our eyes in the shower. Or brush our teeth with that stuff.

By the way commandercool, The food in Iraq is the biggest motovating factor in country. The food that we have at the chow halls is just simply outstanding. If it was military supplying our own food.. we'd be eating T-rations for dinner. If you are not familiar with t-rats... they are disgusting.

I eat better in Iraq than here at home. And my wife is an outstanding cook. Take that great chow away and that would only be taking away one of the few things most of us look forward to each day in country. I'm thankful for the chow that is served in country, simply because I do know it could be much much much worse.

He is right about that. We are usually advised as to whether the water available through the plumbing is potable (drinkable) or not. And each unit usually has field sanitation personnel for administering chlorine tablets. However, there is still the matter of properly handling the bottled water. They didn't when I deployed, and m best friend got not one, but several kidney stones from it. The largest was 5mm.

Wow. Halliburton has shit loads of other problems and yet mass media doesn't focus on it because Anna Nicole Smith dies, Michael Jackson moves to the Middle East, Scarlet Johannson has the hottest bod in the world. I'm not arguing with the latter, but I mean fuck!
"TAKE IT LIKE A MAN! DONT FUCKING CRY YOU BABY!" Those of you thinking this should probably consider mating with human beings rather then vegetables. Secondly, when a person - man or woman - is so concerned with something that they become compassionate about it, don't condescend them. He's trying to get a message across that next to no major media service is willing to cover or is being paid NOT to cover. Who the fuck cares if they did cocaine and heroine drug tests in Vietnam or other horseshit. THAT WAS THEN THIS IS FUCKING NOW. Continuing to let governments and corrupt military officials do this shit to the men and women that are the arm and shield of the self-titled "leaders of the free world", just makes them think "hey we can get away with this, get paid $50 million a month and still get away with it. Fuck, if they do discover what we did 10-20 years down the line, who the fuck cares? We can place it on anyone we fucking want."
As much as anyone wants to hate the americans or condescend them, or anything negative against them, I have always respected what they believed in; but the principles that the once great nation were built on, their very ideals are being shattered every second cronies like these fucks live.

If Western Civilization is to protect and aid the underdeveloped and developing nations of this world, how come we can't even take care of our own?

I'm sure this documentary was just as insightful and truthful as other anti-government documentaries, such as:
Bowling for Columbine
Farenheit 911
An Inconvenient Truth

Honestly, if you people can't base your political opinions on anything other than some video you see on the internet, or off of some blog some guy just posted, please, do all the American Citizens a favor, and QUIT VOTING...
