Friendly Water

March 9th, 2008, 9:18 AM EDT

Friendly fire has killed enough troops. Now they have to worry about the water American contractors are supplying.

Dozens of U.S. troops in Iraq fell sick at bases using “unmonitored and potentially unsafe” water supplied by the military and a contractor once owned by Vice President Dick Cheney’s former company, the Pentagon’s internal watchdog says.

A report obtained by The Associated Press said soldiers experienced skin abscesses, cellulitis, skin infections, diarrhea and other illnesses after using discolored, smelly water for personal hygiene and laundry at five U.S. military sites in Iraq.

This, of course, reintroduces the question, why do we horrible liberals who want out of this war hate the military so much?

  1. Hey, Alan:
    Maybe you can bring this up to Sean KKKlannity next time he gives his empty “support the troops” speech.

  2. You think ROWPUs are cheap to operate?

    (They cost a fortune to maintain.)

    Privatize the profit, socialize the risk.
