Bechtel got awarded another contract.

Bechtel got awarded another contract. Two billion dollars, but they're sharing with somebody called Parson's Corporation - whom I'll bet have republicans on the board. What are they going to do in exchange? Uhm, they're going to build a facility to help get rid of the humongous stockpiles of nerve gas and blister agents that the Army has tucked away in Kentucky. Hmmm. One arm of the company is trying to get rid of some nerve gas, and another arm of the same company is trying desperately to find some nerve gas as they plunder, ehr I mean adminster Iraq. Wonder if they'll consolidate efforts to save money.

Meanwhile the president (remember him?) is accusing the democrats of engaging in revisionist history for demanding some shred of credible evidence (which Bush claims he had) for Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programs. This at the same time he's insisting that no, we didn't go to war to find any weapons - we went there to liberate these poor schmucks.
