Kucinich: 61 Million Reasons Iraqi Reconstruction
Contracts Must Be Turned Over To The UN
Company Formerly Run By Vice President Cheney Overcharged The
US Government $61 Million On No-Bid Contract For Iraqi Fuel Distribution


Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich (D-OH) issued the following statement today on recent news
reports that Halliburton has overcharged the government $61 million on its huge no-bid contract for
distribution of fuel in Iraq:

“The fact that Halliburton was allowed to gouge the American taxpayer to the tune of $61 million
on a no bid contract is outrageous. Now, more than ever, it is clear that this Administration must turn
over all reconstruction contracts to the United Nations.

“The US taxpayers should not foot the bill for this Administration’s failed polices. To end the
looting of the US treasury by firms such as Halliburton it is time to get the UN in and the US out of Iraq.
The current US occupation of Iraq is counterproductive and must end.

“We must immediately seek a new resolution from the UN to send an international force to Iraq
and to allow the UN to handle the transition to Iraqi self governance. This is the only way to ensure
peace and security in the region.”

4. And we never

have to make excuses for him waffling or tripping over his tongue. He knows what he believes, he says it eloquently, and he means to do something about it.

It's refreshing to have a candidate that doesn't need his supporters to keep covering his ass.

6. Boy is that ever true!

"It's refreshing to have a candidate that doesn't need his supporters to keep covering his ass."

I started with another candidate and found myself having to correct what I had said to people before. It took me a little while to realize the reason I had been feeling confused wasn't because of me. I was very glad to give that up, especially now that it seems to be a daily thing.

7. Those are the people "who'll hire good advisors"

Why don't the advisors run, then, if they're the ones who are going to be doing the thinking anyway?

5. A kick for public financing!
