I just can’t believe it. After all the heinous atrocities KBR is accused of. After receiving a Level III Corrective Action Request (CAR) in Iraq. After being accused of killing our soldiers and civilians due to their negligence. After being accused of providing bad water and bad food to our troops. After being accused of producing poor quality work. After being accused of human trafficking. After being under constant investigation for waste, fraud and abuse by Congress. After CEO’s are convicted of crimes. After being sued by dead Soldiers and dead KBR employees families. After being sued left and right by former employees who were raped, assaulted, injured and who knows what else. After all this and more, the Corp of Engineers felt it acceptable to reward this type of business ethics by awarding KBR another major contract!!
I’m just speechless. What a slap in the face to our US Military. What a slap in the face to US Tax Payers. And all the while, KBR fat cats sit at the top saying “neaner neaner….we can do whatever we want and you can’t touch us!” Laughing all the way to the bank!
Here an excerpt from the linked article…
Warning!!! Reading this may make you want to hurl on your computer screen!!
“KBR has a long-standing reputation as a premier government contractor, and this award demonstrates the confidence our government clients have in our work,” said Bruce Stanski, President, KBR Government and Infrastructure. “We look forward to serving the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and are fully prepared to meet the rapid-response requirements of this contract.”
Here is the entire article.
KBR Selected for Security, Disaster, Infrastructure, Construction Work on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Contract
Personally, I think it is totally irresponsible for the Corp to award KBR ANYTHING while they have an unresolved Level III CAR hanging over their head.
I equate the Corps decision with:
1. Hiring a convicted child molester to work in a daycare.
2. Hiring a convicted drug dealer to work in a pharmacy.
3. Hiring a convicted bank robber to work as a teller.
GET MY POINT?
The only thing I can figure is KBR has some naked nasty photos of someone high up in the Department of Defense (DoD). It’s just the only thing that makes sense.
I strongly urge you to contact your Senators and Congresspersons.
This is just unfreakin’ believable!

Here’s another one…I want to know who KBR is sleeping with!!!

How can it be. How in God’s name can they be awarded another contract . They look forward to raping the American taxpayers is what it boils down to .Where is justice in this . Someone or some group should be investigated or should be held responsible for this and charges need to filed . If someone can’t see this as a serious problem ( being awarded another contract) with everything that has been said and the DCMA backing up everything that the former employees have seen & stated and don’t see the need for future investigation I’m ready to wash my hands .However maybe this is what they want everyone to just give up
Ms Sparky’s Response:
I couldn’t agree more. I have forwarded this to Congressman Waxman and Senator Dorgan. I am disturbed. But I am not giving up.
Well….Look at who the upper management are. They look like a bunch of retirees from the military.
The rank that most of these men retired at are Major on up. You scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours!
You hire these retiring officers and you get the contract.
Is this a coincidence or is there more to it?
Ms Sparky’s Response:
Good Point!!!
…. I needed a new computer anyway…
and some people wonder why the empire is in a death gyre.
Ms Sparky’s Response:
yeah…the evil empire! I didn’t consider it could be a great way to get a new laptop!!!
