Maybe he meant Quayle-ty. 
I’m missing the part where it talks about Bush’s administration doing this. How do you know it wasn’t a Democrat that was the decision maker in giving the contract.
Talk about selective perception. You hate Bush, anything the government does that is dumb or you don’t like, you blame on Bush.
This is how children, simpletons and partisan wing nuts look at the world.
I’m thinking this must be a whoosh, since Efraim Diveroli is currently 22 years old. If any other administration gave him a contract, it would have been when he was 15 or younger. Or did I misunderstand the question(?)?
See, what he’s trying to deflect with (limply, as usual) is that it was probably a Democrat, during a Republican Administration with a Republican-controlled Congress that was making these arms deals.
Because, you know, the Dubya Administration was notorious for doling out really good gigs to their opponents.

Geez, the guy’s too young, the ammo’s too old… make up yer fucking minds!
Scylla That is just so very lame.
Fact is, it really doesn’t matter if there was a rogue democrat in the chain, Bush is on watch, no more debate here.
If the pubs were doing things properly, then the persons awarding the contract would now be under investigation, are they ?
If not, why not?
I think we can all work out why can’t we?
Just so long as Halliburtons share value stays up it’ll all be fine.
Why do I hate America?
I’ve been shooting 50 year old Romanian and Bulgarian ammo for the past 5 years. I’ve probably shot 5,000 rounds over that time period, and I’ve had 1 (one) bad round out of the bunch. While prohibitions against Chinese manufactured ammo makes sense in terms of politics nowadays, I don’t see what the problem with buying old Albanian, Chinese, Russian or Latverian ammo is, as long as you know it’s going to be old, contains a caustic primer that will require extra care for you weapon, and have the possibility of being off. It’s owned, mostly, by Western companies nowadays, and isn’t any more likely than ammo made in Western countries to go to support the terroristas or the commies.
Still. Fraud’s fraud. Lock the kid up.
…40-year old K-rations?
Am I the only one to think this has OC written all over it?
Why ‘of course’? Perhaps you should read a biography of Alexander the Great? Wikipedia article.
And your point being?
I’ve been reading the news for the past seven years. The number and scope of contracts given to people and companies who had little or no experience related to doing the things they contracted to do, is really quite impressive in this Administration.
I can’t help it if you haven’t noticed that fact. But your failure to be aware of that, but willingness to jump in anyway and talk about selective perception, speaks of your biases, not mine.
It is always possible that the awarding of this particular contract had nothing to do with that larger pattern. But it certainly isn’t the way to bet.
It was a $100M/year contract, and as the article points out, it didn’t turn out too well.
During the American Civil War, a young JP Morgan got his start-by selling condemned rifles to the Union Army!
God Bless the sharp businessment who spot an opprtunity!
I wonder if this creep is liable for the deaths resulting from defective ammunition which doesn’t fire?
Just because you’re young doesn’t mean you’re not competent.
And just because someone gave you a contract worth $300M doesn’t mean you are.
But, strangely, it seems that you SHOULD be. Disagree?

Exception? Meet rule.
Alexander the Great managed to conquer [del]Iraq[/del] Mesopotamia with military equipment from, like, the 3rd century BC.
His arms contractors must have been 12.
Alessan beat me to it.
