[unapatriciated]

The shady deal resulted in decades old, substandard munitions being delivered to US and Afghan troops fighting on the front lines of the war on terror.

I didn't see it yesterday. This kid knows someone or someone used him. Doesn't matter which it is cause it still makes you wonder how much more the American Public is going to put up with in regards to this administration.

5. In answer what my space has to do with it...

It takes just a few minuets of investigation to find his My Space Page and after reading it , I wonder what kind of background check our Government does before awarding multi-million dollar contracts. Oh I forgot bush likes to keep it in the family, so where is the connection for this guy?

3. Maybe this is Jenna's previous boyfriend. There has to be some unsavory connection

in play. And there is little more unsavory than the Shrub's semenal droppings.

6. Could he be laundering money for the Repugs?

Make the sale, take 10-20% to keep his mouth shut and give the rest to the RNC?

Shoot, I'm still wondering what happened to all that cash in Iraq.

Just sayin'.
