and $45 per six pack of Coke? Why were their secretaries in Iraq given Cadillac Escalades to drive on tax payer expense?
Is this video legit or a scam?

C'mon Chi Guy...look at that video, look how many times the audio...the words...do not match what the guy in the video is mouthing.
That video is complete and total bunk.
Note how they break away from the guy giving testimony when he makes the damning claim.
That video is total bunk.
Note that the caption reads "Democratic Policy Committee Meeting"...what is a Democratic Policy Committee?
That video is total bunk.
Does "Ben Carter" appear in any pictures from Iraq? Nope.
That video is total bunk.
Note how that "sergeant" is not wearing Sergeant rank on his cover.
That video is total bunk.
Note how the title is "US Troops in Iraq talk about Halliburton & KBR", but no *real* troops talk about Halliburton & KBR."
That video is total bunk.
Note how Kelly Do8ughtery is both a sergeant in the Colorado Army National Guard at one time, and then describing how she was charged with destroying Haliburton vehicles at another. Note how the audio does not match the words she is mouthing.
That video is total bunk.
This is not to say that Defense Contractors don't take advantage of war, and do crooked things...
But that video is total bunk.

Sorry, my download speed is too slow to see the video, but it sounds familiar. Perhaps a clip from a documentary I saw recently, "Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers":

-- "Iraq's Missing Billions" (48 mins):

---- Also on YouTube, in six parts:

I doubt those troops have access to that kind of information. And, 95% of the DoD Contractors in the Middle East are ex-military... figure that one out....
Additionally, if these allegations were true, they'd be on a major news oulet, not YouTube.

The entire war in Iraq is a scam and has been since Day One.

That's what you get when your Vice President is a former Halliburton C.E.O. That's what you get when you "privatize" functions that were normally done by the military.

its all shipping and handling charges. Like the 2 washers for about 1 million. Gas prices up and shipping and handling follow.

Think about it, $3 for the laundry and $96 for the black operations that can not be financed by traceable means.

Now, c'mon! YouTube? That's like using the National Enquirer for evidence.
