Cherokee, if you believe the two LTC's were doing right in getting kickback money--all you had to do was say so. Yes, it's that simple. I think today I would like to be called a GunnySgt and post on taxpayers time; do you think someone in the marines can really have time to post like the one they call GunnySgt*? Not a real marine--but a cyberFakeMarine--yes.

*look at the post count and what time the posts are--any mention of CO? Unit? Base? Post Commander? Tell me.

I typed Philip Bloom into Google and got this...

April 18 (Bloomberg) -- Philip Bloom, a U.S. businessman, pleaded guilty to conspiracy, bribery and money laundering in connection with a bid-rigging investigation of Iraq reconstruction contracts.

The Justice Department unsealed the March 10 plea agreement today in federal court in Washington. Bloom admitted paying a former comptroller for the disbanded Coalition Provisional Authority and other officials more than $2 million in money and gifts to win $8.6 million in contracts.

The case arose from audits and an investigation by Special Inspector General Stuart Bowen, whose office was established by Congress in late 2003 to oversee the spending of almost $30 billion in appropriated U.S. tax dollars. Robert Stein, a former comptroller for the provisional authority, pleaded guilty in February to taking part in the scheme. Two Army reservists have also been charged.

``Philip Bloom admits offering millions in bribes so that he and his companies could receive contracts for the vital task of rebuilding Iraq,'' Alice Fisher, the head of the Justice Department's Criminal Division, said in a statement. ``The reconstruction effort in Iraq must be free from the taint of corruption.''

I guess you would love to call Generals and badger people all day who could care less about an angry little Islamists seeking some silly revenge because he was burnt for lying on the Internet? You're agenda has been made clear.

You are warned about your rediculous and senseless threats on my career.

Is that the best mantra you can keep up with? The Marine Captain thread I did wasn't valid because I never was one? And still you have no explanation of your Constitution--and how you follow it. Anyone can pretend to be anything on the internet; anyone like Bush can pretend to want to do this or that and any military man can talk about God, family and country and look at the porno mags, go to nudie bars, and become a AA member. Liars are everywhere, look in the mirror, that uniform doesn't make you any better than anyone else.

You are warned about your rediculous and senseless threats on my career.

What you might ban me on DP? And then I just change my IP address and Mac address and it's best you change that rediculous into proper spelling if one is going to take you seriously.
