Read it and weep, liberals:
KBR Inc. was selected for a no-bid contract worth as much as $568 million through 2011 for military support services in Iraq, the Army said…
Why? Because putting it out to bid and transitioning to a new contractor would have cost an additional $77 million. You see, things don’t always work out in neat, little boxes.
Liberals were rabid about this sort of thing all through President Bush’s term – but the reason Kellogg Brown & Root got no-bid contracts was for this very reason: it was illogical and costly to not just give them the work.
And now that the shoe is on the other foot, what will our liberals do? Mostly ignore it – after all, the whole issue was just something cooked up to hammer Bush and/or condemn the effort in Iraq. It was never a matter of principle.
