KBR Peddles Tainted Water to Troops
Troops in Iraq fell sick using “unmonitored and potentially unsafe” water supplied by the military and a contractor once owned by Vice President Dick Cheney’s former company, KBR.
Is it not bad enough that KBR, screws us the taxpayers by unscrupulusley dodging millions of dollars in taxes, then they screw the troops in Iraq by not providing the most basic, simplest, most fundamental basic need for survival, water!
KBR said its water treatment “has met or exceeded all applicable military and contract standards.” The company took exception to many of the inspector general’s assertions. “KBR’s commitment to the safety of all of its employees remains unwavering,” the company said in a statement to the AP. Well, if that were the case, then why are troops getting sick form YOUR water?
Equipment shortages, substandard gear, and now tainted water, a fundamental staple of life are being forced on the troops. Bush’s war is costing this country billions of dollars, and now the war profiteers are scrimping on water! How embarrassing. And they keep screaming how important it is to show our support for the troops!
