Home Cooking (Iraq turkey provided by Halliburton)

[kskiska]

HERE'S something for paranoid pacifists to chew on: The turkey President Bush served to American soldiers in Baghdad last week was provided by a subsidiary of Halliburton, the Houston oil conglomerate once headed by Dick Cheney and cited by anti-war activists as proof that the war is more about profits than terrorism. The Hill weekly in D.C. reports that Halliburton's Kellogg Brown & Root, which is also rebuilding Iraq's infrastructure, is under contract to feed the U.S. Army there. Visitors who have sampled KBR's menu say it's good - good enough to lure Air Force personnel to sneak into Army mess tents at meal time. The Air Force does its own catering.

9. I could swear I heard Fineman say this would be the Newsweek cover

He was talking to Brian Williams about the fact that the Thanksgiving Day photo op didn't make the cover of either Time or Newsweek. I thought I heard him say that the faux turkey would be on next week.
