Saw an interesting news item about waste and corruption in the
payments to "contractors" in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Congress
bipartisan ctte had found that the Army (mainly) had paid out
more than $60 billion in overpayments, corrupt payments and in
a lot of cases plain blood money to contractors

Define "blood money"?

Money paid to contractors who had an employee killed/maimed, that money
was supposed to be paid to family of the deceased - but in some cases was
kept by the contractors.


Paid by whom?

Or are you claiming death or dismemberment insurance is "blood money"?

capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency.
It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an
Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense
and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have
such a man for their? president.. Blaming the prince of the
fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of
fools that made him their prince".
