I wonder if this Administration told our children that its vaccine supplier is the same DynCorp corporation whose employees are buying and selling little girls in Eastern Europe today. DynCorp has changed its name, but it hasn't changed its behavior and has no business supplying vaccines to the Pentagon or to our children.

In addition, this Administration is big on talk, but when it has to choose between rhetoric for our troops and hard dollars for its corporate criminal friends, it chooses its friends every time.

How else could Dick Cheney's Halliburton win a no-bid contract to feed our tro ops in Afghanistan and Iraq and yet the food make them sick in Afghanistan and they not have enough water to drink in Iraq?

<snip>It appears that America's poor and people of color are the cannon fodder for Bush's New American Century. They have predicted a generation of fighting. And Caspar Weinberger suggests that America's people of color are more patriotic than America's young white kids are, and that's why there are disproportionately more people of color in our all-volunteer military.

1. Counterpunch PULLS NO PUNCHES

Excellent stuff. However, you will find that Counterpunch is blasted here regularly for its anti-Clark views. It's a fair publication. GREAT sppech by Cynthia McKinney - as always.
