i leave you eat that is so for and so the human being to. act had. a clip of plea state that the abuse relayed it to contracts awarded to k.b.r. represents the most blatant and improper contract of abuse i have witnessed due in the course of my professional career it's suspicious on how go to move big contract because dick cheney before he became vice president was c.e.o. of halliburton he left oliver with twenty million dollars worth of stock options from nine eleven till two thousand and nine and those stock options quadrupled in price he made about a billion dollars off the war there's a great future. on defending the woman he is no longer about being interviewed at the american enterprise institute and he's seen as you would be a disaster these things who are we going to waste it she goes oh number.

of units one for the united do his work for him over mission hundreds of millions of dollars next to the. u.s. military contractor k.b.r. is under legal fire today over real fires in iraq the firm is charged with causing illnesses from massive burn pits used to incinerate garbage there. the veterans who are now suing k.b.r. because of their they believe service connected health insurance say that k.b.r. short cut it didn't install center raters when they should have had burned all this hazardous waste when it was a guess the o.t. regulations to do so and as a result they're sick. all the contracts that k.b.r.

and held as mine it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out if you're k.b.r. employee and you're throwing. then you're you're careless and you're you're putting people's health in jeopardy and that's exactly what a lot of these k.b.r. contractors were doing. so for me to accept is if i'm. working for k.b.r. and they have knowledge of. hazardous chemicals on the ground and cause cancer. here and i'll. just put in my family and i had a prius that is unnecessary. i'm. very upset over that. today very very upset. that i should be ashamed. that they did that. the military exercises regular

daily oversight and supervision and periodically issued evaluation reports of k.b.r. performance not just on waste disposal but across all the many functions that k.b.r. performed in the war theaters so the military was aware of what k.b.r. was doing and if they thought that k.b.r. was doing those kind of things then they would have been in position to make those practices you know change to halt very little government oversight on the love scene of the major personnel in directing the actual work force were kellogg brown and root personnel. i've seen time and time again take your claim that the reason why they didn't do what they were supposed to was they were allegedly being told to do something or working under the military supervision my experience has been and what i've seen in sworn testimony is that too often k.b.r. personnel were more or less directing the military about what was going to be done rather than the right way. when i noted the violations infractions and

improper actions by killen rather rude reported him to management road towards and i was basically told shut up that they would make the decisions about them as decisions. the case or rick lambert in what could be or try to do with him when he tried to expose what was going on and reveal some of the misconduct really points to an attitude that i've seen before or k.b.r. is more concerned about keeping the truth down than fixing the problem. we know from the g.a.o. reports that have come out since you know way two thousand nine two thousand and ten that both the d.o.d. am k.b.r. were not operating these burn pits within their own regulations they were burning as are this materials all over iraq and afghanistan you know this not only from the

veterans but through the g.a.o. reports the g.a.o. also found that many of these parapets were still operating as late as two thousand and thirteen and this is at least two years after they were told to shut them down or they would have been a lot better off using incinerators incinerators use less. fuel i believe they're more energy efficient and they release less toxins and so that means that any military personnel soldiers and others that are in the area aren't going to be exposed to toxic chemicals toxic fumes that kind of thing to operate the burn pits was much cheaper of them to do to put in high temperature and sewer years cost would have been national and. many veterans i've spoke to believe that k.b.r. was where. only cutting corners. to save money my understanding is they were given

the money to do the incinerators and so it wasn't a budgetary issue this may have been a cheaper way to go this may have been an easier way to go but it certainly wasn't what was best for our soldiers so far in addition to the congressional inspector general investigations that have documented the misconduct there's been hundreds of decorations sworn statements by former employees military officers documenting how the operation of the burn pits was exposing troops to the worst toxins known to man rather than disposing of these things like a cross. easy he. he. he. he. and i come to find out that blog where i was for about six months was built on

a chemical weapons manufacturing storage facility that we bombed the hell out of during the war and then we went to build a base there with my understanding to bleep it in with a new grand samples is what was already in the ground or contaminated and they found that the most severe illnesses were coming from five different bases in iraq these bases used to be they knew the ground was hot meaning it was contaminated. flabbergasted inquiry i want to talk about these claims that are being served by plaintiff's lawyers who effectively are saying we don't agree with the decisions that were made by the military there were we think there were safer ways as we said ten years later five years later we think there were safer ways of disposing of waste and somebody should be accountable for not doing. and the way that we think

was safer is often suggested but in trying to wrap themselves in the military and so all this is about is second guessing military decisions about how to dispose of . waste where dispose of waste the problem with that argument that i've seen is that in most cases in fact across the board k.b.r. was wrong in making decisions often concealing what they were doing from the military they were derelict they know what i believe in all these illnesses and then prevented it in part because they could of years incinerators most of which were offline if they were just found out. in i mean if they would have realized. and we did in the fog of war we got to fix the mess in the took action to fix it. he didn't. now it turns out there was something else in the contract because all that wasn't good then an indemnity folks so if they screw anything up

they don't have to pay for it the bill gets stuck on the american taxpayer there will be an indemnification even for negligence on a reasonable acts of your managers agents and borders and if they fall within the definition of what is covered even if they caused the injury or death to these. other purveyors of those clauses that is correct even if they cause injury or death to civilian employees. under the provisions of a cause that's correct even if they cause injury or death to the american soldier. does not and does not carve out an exception for civilian with our soldiers which means every means that if in fact the activities fall within the definition of a clause thing k.b.r. could could apply for reimbursement but it's rare even for death or injury to american soldier that's correct. even ford are encouraged to report

a service one. of her even if they're injured to iraqi national or other world that it will work in order to roger. that's correct they were going to get fully reimbursed for every single legal penny they spent as well as any damages found against them and probably one of the biggest bail outs of a government contractor that's been documented so for. the indemnification is is absolutely criminal if we have over one hundred thousand soldiers ill it just shows it's a good example of you know how much our government really cares about our soldiers are just pawns. they're angry they're far straighted they feel as though they gave . everything they had to the u.s. government they believed down till sam had their back when they sent them over to iraq and afghanistan to fight the war they believed when they came back they'd be

taking care of. the the military the v.a. or are supposed to take care of their veterans. and they're supposed to provide good health here and a good transition out of the military and the military and v.a. has failed miserably on doing this and not only when the firm put issues but you know a lot of mental health issues and everything else there are many people who are working with the v.a. who feel that that studies have been either augmented belated have been prone to bias in favor of. results that my air to earth that's having psychosomatic problems instead of physical problems.

when the whole make this manufacture come sentenced and to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the financial merry go round listen to the one percent. we can all middle of the room say. the euro news and spending shouldn't twenty million on one player. it's an experience like nothing else on to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful game but great so one more chance with. a nice it's going to take.

the office of public health conducts large studies of the health of american veterans however if this studies produce results that should not support the office of public health and written policy they don't release them. this applies to data recording adverse health consequences of environmental exposures such as burn pits in iraq and afghanistan and toxics exposures in the gulf or on the rare occasions when. study results are released are manipulated to make them unintelligible so there seems to be an ongoing struggle between the truth seekers and the government when it comes to. sort of getting to the bottom of. her. health the fact that veterans are now experiencing.

been a hopeful terrible experience for. the for the claim itself to the v.a. to. either compensated or to get medical treatment. is going to home. they. are not there no matter what the food. most of their employees are angry and certainly nasty. i don't want to go in there i always thought that they would have the best care and the reality. down it depends on who you get is a provider but the bureaucracy at the v.a. for me is what has been a nightmare to deal with getting bills from the labs for a thousand two thousand dollars for blood work and staff call in the v.a. tell them i'm keep getting these bills call in the lab company telling the v.a. supposed to pay these bills and they don't and you're already sick with chemo and

radiation also and all these bills are coming and you nobody's paying them. i mean i mean right now we're quarter million dollars in debt from cancer. we're bankrupt . and the v.a. still denies my claim that it's not this is not a. exposures. the politicians the congressional people that we sought to help us unfortunate drop is like a hot potato since we make sen. so we have no resolution right now the v.a. still do minor cases we have attorneys for sure you. are not going to see we're just we're we are we are you know which is hopefully we'll make it till. the time that i can make with the ten year golden rule the v.a. system itself means that about fourteen years or filmic it's no benefits that's why after ten years i don't get the benefits that they deserve i think of the a should

take more. be more responsible with these guys because they have already put their lives on the line for us why would we just in war injury is our generation's agent orange. if you look at the historical precedents with agent orange for decades it was not acknowledged and then after decades it was studied and then finally soldiers were trained. so it still goes with iraq afghanistan war longing for we can't wait that long poor the parapets to reckon that it's not the pace that the guys are in the females are dying from the burn pits it's a lot faster the illnesses are showing up in the symptoms a lot sooner he put in his time he sacrificed he gave everything that it was possible to get and. and move proud of that

and we don't regret that and he doesn't regret that and we would serve again so it's not the service that's a problem and then things happen in war and we understand that there's a tough. just and and we will carry with that because there are some things that are worth the cost but the other side of that is that at the end of it they take care of you and every single time there's a war we do this some do you know with the government where they say no no it wasn't us no it wasn't that it's just you know it's you know i don't know what it was it's just the look and it's not every single time. and when is it the last time when is it that they just say ok. this is was it and you did your part let a steward one does that time come where you're not fighting afterwards the fight

should be done i don't see no way at this because with the agent orange the vietnam veteran still suffering still fighting to be recognized the top of that gulf war veterans fighting to be recognized now you're adding another million or so iraq and afghanistan veterans fighting to be recognized that's two generations at least of the men and women who are sick. and they have overwhelmed a v.a. system that was not prepared to handle that to compensate every. soldier marine airman and sailor that was on the ground that are complaining about their exposure illnesses from their exposure from the burn pits. would break would bring literally some to be a broke and. they don't want to pay it so the waiting in the

decades a lot of those soldiers will die you know time. and they won't have to pay anything . all grow up and. get the middle finger. to be used and want to lose. the veterans that i speak to are all for that and their bewilder some of them are so sick that they don't know if they're wake up in the morning and i'm not exaggerating every year is something new every year is something that's taken away from the quality of life that he has and that we have as a family. you're in a. restaurant

sit down and he will have a meal. because he's sitting there he's trying to. keep him sound busy on his home in time or uncomfortable for. the simple things that. we take for granted. that he doesn't have. our heart. what. what what what is our future going to be like what does it hold. it's just going to get worse. i'd like to think if you choose blight. but that's my optimistic guy trying to i think a lot of times come on myself because if i read about the disease that i hate. it just gets progressively worse. so i don't know i mean maybe i get

a miracle when god heals me and my wife is wonderful and she and the truck on the way nothing's ever let up in. bed right now it's too much take care of my husband take care of. every other. woman's has spend and. man's wife who served who did their duty because they believed in it because they believed that it was the right thing to do and. that's all we're asking. there is absolutely a moral obligation to fix it when these veterans come home and they're saying no matter what their sect problem we have an obligation as the american public to take care of these men and women who sacrifice themselves for us i. i hope the. this will have an ending where they jump on this and really story.

aggressively treating the soldiers at the v.a. and but i don't see this ending well at all. the outcome is is going to be gloom and do. you think he's going to give. him everything you can or cannot be so wonderful. ricky your fight is going to continue on you. think we're going to. take what you have. and what you have been bought for. so long to

the president of the united states. so that it helps other.

they all. say. yes to all this is all the proof.

he. got a very wide grin. because that saudi prince. we tell them. to tell the middle. prescribe medication is widespread on the us market and

a frequent cause of death and. like everything was ashes my family was literally coming unglued i had actually planned. to commit some site. who has made antidepressants so commonly used we were doing what the doctors told us to do we were being responsible and what the real side effects. was. when i did was done. tomb of the evil troll. just because something is legal doesn't.

because of the caliphate in syria for major military forces contrary taken the last significant city held by islamic states. the iranian president warns the saudi arabia that it will achieve nothing by making threats we look at how the middle east has become a chessboard for the adverse to reason riyadh and to wrong. plus the cia director mike pompei o has come under fire.
