Sure thing JB... just seems like a ripsnortian cut and paste mission from you since the O'Club has been back. I'd hope you'd be able to see the difference between someone saying something is getting old and you "being told not to do it", but I see I've hoped for too much.

As for the whole "Halliburton Contract" issue: You'd think that no congressman from any committee would have any idea that halliburton is an issue. I mean, the VP tells them who to award contracts to and they do it... right? I mean, it's easy to sway the same group over and over and over. It's not like they read the news or anything like that. Nah, they just get "swayed" all the time. Those poor lemmings.

JB88, any references to me is the highest honor you can get on this BBS. Basically what you've done is copied and pasted an article that gets so deep under ones skin, that they take extreme exception to it, then lash out with a "Rip-n-paste" or "Ripsnortian".

Congrats! You've managed to get someones blood pressure up without any comments. That is quite the achievement on this particular BBS.

According to this 1992 GAO report, Halliburton is charging on the high end when inflation is accounted for.

at 3%, average inflation since '92, $93,333 grows to $137,000 and taking into account materials are not locally available due to political concerns, 137k/inmate (unfortunately) doesn't sound out of line.

Sheesh it would be cheaper to buy them off for $50k apiece.

An they wonder why the O'Club got closed down? Calling people homosexuals when you disagree with their politics - or assume you disagree with their politics shows a fear of your own sexuality that perhaps is indicative of trying to "prove" how masculine - and non homosexual you are yourself.

Why would you have to bother unless........

lazs2 · « **Reply #21 on:** June 17, 2005, 09:15:06 AM »

now that was an interesting post...

It is bad to intimidate that people are homosexual unless you do it? and..

Would you say that more gay people were liberal or conservative?

Well ok. As long as it isn't in the US.

I thought this was exactly the kind of construction the Army Corp of Engineers or some other military construction group would do. Why the hell are we giving contracts out for stuff that can be done in-house?

Maverick · « **Reply #26 on:** June 17, 2005, 10:04:01 AM »

Even if the Corps of Engineers is responsible they use contract labor and companies to do the actual construction. The Corps may be in charge but there still has to be resources for actual construction.

So the Corp is just a bunch of supervisors? No one actually builds anything?

Depends on the size of the project. There are lots of things the Corps was responsible for like public improvements (dams etc) but they didn't do all the construction. Smaller projects or strictly military jobs especially in hostile areas yes they'd do the job. I'm not an expert by any means. I was not an Engineer in the Army. I just was trained to break things and kill the enemy.
