What The F**K, more about digging into the peoples treasury for fun and huge profits, and it's once again the food we're supplying to the troops in Iraq!
From the Wall Street Journal, Food Companies Face U.S. Probe Over Iraq Deals
It's great, ain't it, to have an economy the preznit can say is just humming along fine, it ain't, while it seems Everyone connected to his War of Choice are raking in the big bucks, All From Our Treasury, and propping up their bottom lines for their investors, thus keeping Wall Street humming along on the War Profits!!
Investigators from the Justice Department and the Defense Department are looking into deals that Perdue Farms Inc., Sara Lee Corp., ConAgra Foods Inc. and other U.S. companies made to supply the military, according to people involved in the inquiry. The companies made the deals with the help of former U.S. military procurement officials they hired as consultants or executives.
Doesn't that last sentence just warm your heart also, War Profiteering from former U.S. military procurement officials as well.
As Soldiers and Iraqi's are being Maimed and Killed!!
Where have I seen this picture before, Oh Ya 'Nam!
Public Warehousing Co. disclosed the federal investigation in two lawsuits filed in federal courts in Washington earlier this year.
• In this complaint the company contended that the Pentagon was blocking its pursuit of further contracts because of the investigation. A PWC executive states his position here. After a Federal Claims Court judge indicated he would side with the company, the Justice Department and Pentagon reached a settlement with the company granting most of its demands.
While Army officials deny that they designate vendors for food, an internal spreadsheet that Mr. Staples emailed to a vendor in 2006 names specific vendors for specific products.
In one of the most striking examples of the agency's selectivity, Tyson Foods Inc., one of the world's largest chicken producers, has been virtually shut out in the competition to supply the troops for the Iraq conflict. Much of the chicken supplies for Iraq and Kuwait are provided by Perdue and Pilgrim's Pride Inc.
When in the Hell are we going to start seeing Perp Walks of Government Officials and their Chummy Business Partners?
As Soldiers and Iraqi's are being Maimed and Killed!!
