It's also a reason to raid our treasury of the billions the war has cost by giving no-bid contracts to Blackwater, Halliburton, Bechtel, KBR, etc, etc, all of which are owned/controlled by Bush Crime Family supporters, and all are registered Rethuglicans.
The Bush Regime effected the greatest bank heist in world history, right up to the last moment of the administration with Henry Paulson's threat of "anarchy in the streets" should he be denied the 700 billion bank bailout money.
These people are thieves, and there isn't one person who still identifies as Rethuglican who can be trusted, since if they valued their character, they would have left their party years ago. No excuses.
