Army: "We don't have enough people to oversee Halliburton" in Iraq
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A13456-2004Aug18.html

<snip>
"An Army official responsible for administering the giant logistical contract with Halliburton Co. for food, housing and other services in Iraq and Kuwait said yesterday that his command has not had enough trained people to properly oversee the arrangement."
</snip>

An example of a favored contractor run amok? I think so...

2. Let's see. We do not have enough soldiers to oversee this
overpaid, crooked arm of the Cheney empire which is doing a job that our own military could do for many less taxpayer dollars.
