Little wonder the fucking Clintons were in on the swindle.

#3 She is here to use her office to continue to run her business. Look at the foundation donors and then track her travels as secretary of state. No diplomacy was really involved other than arms sales and other trinkets.

That is all she is,A shallow international crony capitalist in mao pants.

Bitch.

#5 It was not meraly a scam but endnagering soldiers lives. Military vehicles require high performance not sh.y political correctness. If you ue inferior fuel (and gren fuel is inferior it will translate into body bags.

#6 Talking of fuel: if by the end of the war Soviet pilots were kicking German pilots' a..es it was not only because they had better planes than in or because they were better trained than tin 1941, it was also because high octane fuel (about 90% of it provided by the Allies according to Marshal Zhukov) gave them the extra mph who made the difference between victory or being shot down.

Now the US military is voluntarily using inferior fuel. This amounts to treason.

#7 Higher number of body bags doesnt seen to be a bad thing to most in the beltway. In fact to some it's a bonus!

#8 The actual problem is not the fuel or the cost, but that the DoD was required to buy it. As I recall, at the time of the Request for Purchase, the fuel didn't even physically exist, but DoD was legally required to buy it anyway. (Read about it at the time.)

#10 One more reason that I always feel like I'm living under a criminal conspiracy when the Donks are in power. The Clintons and Obamas might hate each other but not so much that they don't share in the boodle that is bilked.

#11 This is a situation also exacerbated by linguistic problems.

Calling what Clinton and Obama are doing "crony capitalism", while technically correct, allows the emphasis to be placed on capitalism, corporatism is the same, correct but misleading.

Graft, theft, corruption need to be called what they are.
If you want to label it systemically the closest match would be fascism....think Benito rather than Adolph.

#12 C'mon now. Obama's gotta pay for that $35 million house in Hawai'i somehow.
