katt1017: Actually the first no bid contract was awarded by the Clinton Administration in 1979.
In 1997, when LOGCAP was again put up for bid, Halliburton/Brown & Root lost the competition to another contractor, Dyncorp. But the Clinton Defense Department, rather than switch from Halliburton to Dyncorp, elected to award a separate, sole-source contract to Halliburton/Brown & Root to continue its work in the Balkans. According to a later GAO study, the Army made the choice because 1) Brown & Root had already acquired extensive knowledge of how to work in the area; 2) the company “had demonstrated the ability to support the operation”; and 3) changing contractors would have been costly. The Army’s sole-source Bosnia contract with Brown & Root lasted until 1999. At that time, the Clinton Defense Department conducted full-scale competitive bidding for a new contract. The winner was . . . Halliburton/Brown & Root. The company continued its work in Bosnia uninterrupted.http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/207451/bush-iraq-scandal-wasnt/byron-york Care to spew a little venom towards slick, sick Willy over it Chris?
Care to answer Halliburton's no bidding awarded defence contracts,during the entire GWB era.???

Conrad we've got a saying down here."""My non reply silence to your arguement,is proof you are correct""".Haven't you Google Wiki yet????? The truth such a bitter pill.
raphael118: enjoy? only a republican would. your graphs clearly show exactly what i said about unemployment rates and how the republican's great recession under GWB created this disaster that finally peaked out about six months in Obama's presidency .I want to thank you Katt for having the courage to admit the truth of claims.
Even you have to admit that Obama attempt (TARP, Stimulus and Health CAre reform) only flat lined the enemployment rate. Did nothing to decrease it.
If success is measure on a low and falling rate......meaning a healthy economy....one can still stay that the last three were were a dismal economically with a high unemployment.
Not only that.....but Obama administration did little for the economic conditions on main street and in the private sector. Here they focus on big business solutions....the bank bailout, the auto industry bailout.....which makes them more friendly to big business than the REP have ever thought to be.
Then they come in with a tax plan that is unfair. Yikes we are going to place a lion share of the taxes on the mostly wealthy? Were is the fairness there? No it wealth redistribution pure and simple. Obama wanted to share more wealth with the low income via his benefit program. He needed more gov't revenue for that. So tax the weathly.
It does not matter, that the low income in America are still vastly better off than most of the low inocme in the rest of the world. Consider the Madrass student that force to beg for his room and board in the Sudan. Do you see that in the US?
But President Obama is going to use his benefit program to buy low income votes. You say that is his privilidge because of his 2008 win. No, it is not....Congress shall make the approriation. So really it is a Constitution fight over a issue that not even noted in the Constitution.
In 2010 the American people saw this coming. Hence they vote in the largest number of opposition Congressmen in the last 60 years. They balanced out the government between the two parties.
The Lebanese parliment came to the Hezbolloh controlled government saying that it might soon need to dissolve the government unless a finding paper on the special UN Tribunal (Raferkiri bombing) has been made.
6 times since taking the government by cou, the Hezbolloh committee on the finding paper on the Tribunal has meet. But to date no finding paper. And no Lebanon gov't. approval of the UN Tribunal.
Sect. State Clinton has spoken on this. That Lebanon needs to have the UN Tribunal occur.
But seeing that Hezbolloh is very likely the party that did the bombing. Allowing this UN Tribunal to occur is a means to having someone them facing murder charges and Hague courts cases. Indeed a reason for the Hezbolloh cou, might be to stall the UN Tribunal and its findings.

Yes absolutely right, but one side on the forum,blame Obama and his cronies for corruption,and when presented with evidence about GWB and his cronies,the refuse to admit it.-
Ccincy: They're all crooks.Only care about lining theirs and their cronnies pockets.They also support the will of their campaign contribs too.

Did you expect they would chris? LOL Just like political figures would never admit they have no plans on keeping their campiagn promises.That would considered political suicide.
Try to find the humor in some or most of the political things, I do.Everytime I hear or read about political figures I start laughing.They could have their very own comedy shows.
