Robey said in 2003 his company would run out of water on missions, forcing them to improvise, like drinking water from whatever taps they found.
Unfortunately, the often-untreated Iraqi water can cause intestinal illnesses. Robey said 50 to 60 members of his company got dysentery.
Desperate, Robey said he and his commander were reduced to stealing water from supplies stored at Baghdad International Airport.
They found plenty, in the hands of civilian contractors who Robey claims were supposed to be distributing it to soldiers.
"You just had pallets upon pallets upon pallets of (bottled) water," Robey said.-

KHOU's Rogalski says that an internal KBR report reveals "massive programmatic issues" with water for personal hygiene at its Iraq facilities dating back to 2005, and outlines how there was no formalized training for anyone involved with water operations.
Former KBR employee and whistleblower Ben Carter told KHOU that he discovered that soldiers' sinks at Camp Ar Ramadi were pouring out untreated wastewater. He described showers as "essentially a sauna of microorganisms. Your eyes, ears, anyplace there's a cut, a person would be at risk of containing a pathogen," Carter said.
Carter says he received a verbal lashing from KBR supervisors when he raised his concerns.
KHOU obtained a statement from the Multi-National Force in Iraq press office which read, "We have a proven system that works. Commanders at all levels do their utmost to provide the necessary resources required to sustain the force."
KBR told KHOU that a Department of Defense Inspector General's report has concluded "KBR has (since) satisfied applicable water standards," adding that "the DoD has not found any illness which it attributes to water in Iraq."
Staff Sgt. Dustin Robey disagrees. He says he's passed hundreds of kidney stones since returning form Iraq, and because of his condition the Army forced him to retire. His family is now facing foreclosure.-

Let the record now show that Will1313 supports our war efforts in Iraq.

Will1313, while you are still trying to qualify as an interrogation administrator for waterboarding, please divert your 10,000.00 dollars to the soldiers in Iraq.
Had you been so generous four years ago, perhaps no one would be thirsty.
Thanks for the help!-

where in your convoluted logic.. did you come up with anything that I would remotely support the war.. I've NEVER supported the war.. but the troops is a different story.. way different..

let the record show that Hhussk.. is a complete idiot..
and I didn't really think you had to be qualified to administer torture.. If it were to be a realistic representation.. you should be in fear.. and if you decide to take me up on the offer to waterboard you.. or endoscopy.. IT WILL BE A LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR BOTH OF US... IF YOU SURVIVE.. YOU WILL LEARN IT'S TORTURE.. and if you don't I'll learn the limits of human endurance..
by the way you didn't even try to address the FACTS present from YOUR link.. that are inconsistent with the statements in your post..-

That's what you are an idiot. In our government, you have to be qualified to administer waterboarding.
Shows how little you know. Of course, in your mind, you think you are qualfied.-

show me a manual..something in writing about the qualifications.. FOR FIELD OPERATIVES .. not instructors..
but I do have a qualified instructor.. who administered training to the military.. and if it makes you more comfortable.. he'll administer your waterboarding.. I'll just ask the question..
idiot.. go look in the mirror..

how dumb are you?
this wasn't about cost.
KBR was paid. they simply didn't provide teh service they promised.
had nothing to do with war funding.
you should take the money you were going to send to Obama for the ongoing war effort and instead go buy a clue.
