Check this out. The military wants to build a brand new high tech, high security, $125 million courthouse "compound" in Guantanamo (for holding its trials - or whatever they're called now - in, don't you know), and have it finished by July 1. Next July 1. The 2007 July 1. I'm not kidding - it's all here.
Right. Look, begging the question, if they have $125 mil to throw around why not get a little more of that "reconstruction" done with it (word is DOOFUS wants "one more big push" in Iraq but you can bet that doesn't include fixing the sewers or turning the lights back on in Baghdad and anyway, millions are chickenfeed, aren't they, if we're not talking billions we're not talking real money here) - begging the money question, I'm saying, you can't even get your kitchen remodeled by July 1. And if your contractor promises July 1, pencil in September or October, earliest. And also begging the question, can't we do anything without paying millions to KBR first?
Maybe they ought to quit planning construction projects, there at the Pentagon, and get back to planning wars.
Oh, wait.
