KBR supplied contaminated water to troops.

The AP reports that, between March 2004 and February 2006, “dozens of U.S. troops in Iraq fell sick at bases using ‘unmonitored and potentially unsafe‘ water supplied” by KBR. The Pentagon’s internal watchdog said soldiers experienced skin abscesses, cellulitis, skin infections, diarrhea and other illnesses after from using the discolored, smelly water.

1. But, that CAN'T be the truth!
Wouldn't we see that on the news?
Wouldn't the news be reporting this if it's true?
And KBR, isn't that like a part of Halliburton?
Doesn't the Vice President own it or something?
Republicans love and support the troops, so this story must be BS.
Probably something that the Clinton's or Obama put out to make the commander in chief and McCain look bad.

Someone actually said that to me last night.

I picked up on this story yesterday.
I was in a bar last night and the conversation turned to politics, and I mentioned this.
My response...

You can't be that fucking stupid can you?
