"Sodium dichromate is an orange-yellowish substance containing hexavalent chromium, an anti-corrosion chemical. To Lt. Col. James Gentry of the Indiana National Guard, who was stationed at the Qarmat Ali water treatment center in Iraq just after the 2003 U.S. invasion, it was "just different-colored sand." In their first few months at the base, soldiers were told by KBR contractors running the facility the substance was no worse than a mild irritant."*

Dick Cheney's company, KBR, got a military contract to coat pipes with a powerfully carcinogenic substance to protect them. Their negligence fatally poisoned U.S. soldiers in the process. Guess who is expected to foot the bill? Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

    KBR:

    -electrocuted troops in their showers thru faulty wiring

    -poisoned troops in their food with sodium dichromate

    -poisoned Nat Guard troops with bad water

    Tell me again why we employed them?

    To help the troops...or kill them?

    Because Dick Cheney got over 30 million dollars, that's why. Nevermind all that though, the REAL conspiracy is something about 4 people dying in Benghazi and the actions of two people who who work for the IRS in Ohio.

    If you think any otherwise, you're a sheep and un-American. Oh and the MSM is owned by Obama, the Muslim socialist.

    Dick Cheney should be executed on site, and I'm against execution.

    If you seriously want to earn more money, you should search google for Caul Cash Code. You are bound to get the financial freedom you deserve.

    It would be a shame for you not to make more income when these normal people are able to earn more money easily using Pudgy Paycheck Secret (check it out on Google).

    This makes me sick. How can contract like tis ever pass anyone's desk and get an "approved" stamp on it? I want the names of these politicians who are so bent and compliant. We can't attack KBR, but we can expose the political fuckers who gave them illegal free reign, and vote them into oblivion!

    I watch both Al-Jazeera and RT and they both have theirt own agendas. Press TV is a loose part of the Iranian state so no surprise they are not pro-USA.

    Maybe you should watch Al-Jazeera and then try telling me they are pro-Israel...
