If DynCorp, or BlackWater is shady in their spending, and what they do with proceeds then I applaud finding this out through a fair inquiry. Not a witch hunt.]

How can this do anything but help our efforts in Iraq. Perhaps you have forgotten the article I posted on what some of these contractors are doing to our troops..or maybe you didn't read it. How can it NOT improve conditions and our efforts in Iraq to have the mercs accountable...they had to make a law because the Bush people made sure that just as they turned the government of Iraq over to the Iraqi's the contractors were made immune and could not be held accountable here or there.

There has been NO over site of these company's or their operations in Iraq...this isn't a witch hunt...a witch hunt is when an innocent is accused, given a bogus trial and burned...as a scape goat...that doesn't apply to this in my view.

These are company's that have operated outside the law and been given no bid contracts repeatedly...and you question Waxmans' motives...unbelievable...but then I'm beginning to find that more and more.

As long as it happens there and not here...the mantra...it doesn't matter...and the costs be damned...the old NIMBY mindset...I'm familiar with that...seen it before.

Your view's are so different from mine that I get the impression that it wouldn't matter to you what was done in Iraq in our name...in the name of America and it's citizens...I do care.

Think your thoughts...I will stand by mine...I don't accept the America that has been produced by the tender mercy's of the NeoCon agenda and policy.

I'm not the one getting huffy...you make statements and I make statements...we'll just agree to disagree...as far as Waxman goes...there probably are other investigations going on...however, these investigations are very timely and important...would you like to say something about the investigations he IS doing other than you think they are political witch hunts? Don't you see the value in doing this oversight...I'm amazed...and if you in your sensitivity find that just too difficult...give up....that was easy!!

Bush is out of office January of 2009, what do you hope to accomplish before then?

The Dem's don't have enough votes, or enough will, to de-fund the troops, so that's not going to happen.

Where are you going with this incessant moaning and groaning about how evil Bush is?
