"allowed no-bid and questionable contracting throughout the federal government"

This was invented by Al Gore who praised Halliburton during the Clinton Administration.

"To understand why contractor fraud keeps happening over and over again, it's worth thinking about why some folks thought contracting out for services was such a good idea in the first place. Think back to the 1990s, when Bill Clinton and Al Gore talked proudly about "reinventing government"—tapping into the supposed efficiencies of the private sector, cutting out the supposed inefficiencies of the public bureaucracy (Clinton and Gore eliminated 426,200 federal civilian workforce jobs)."

This is another legacy handed to the Bush Administration by the previous administration.

You keep taking things out of context while you complain about others taking things out of context.

"So his certainty about something that went so wrong is not ancient history. It's context."

One standard for Amos. A different standard for those that disagree. I guess any crutch will do when you don't have a leg to stand on.
