End of Hot Meals for Troops in Iraq?

Once again, Dick Cheney’s Halliburton is screwing US taxpayers, US corporations, and US soldiers. A Utah company that Halliburton has subcontracted to provide meals to troops in Iraq (including Bush’s Thanksgiving Turkey photo-op) reports that Halliburton hasn’t paid it the $87 million that it owes, and that if it doesn’t get paid soon, it may have to start feeding the troops sandwiches instead of hot meals. This story is breaking at the same time that we’re seeing reports of Halliburton overcharging the Pentagon hundreds of millions of dollars for those same meals that they’re not paying for. So they’re overcharging the taxpayers, and keeping all the money for themselves? Once again, those of us who complain are told “Support our troops!”, while those telling us that are starving the troops and pocketing the money.
