“let me just share with you a bid- for by the Defense Department, some $360,000 on a monthly basis. I tell you the reason why we will not have hearings here in the House, public hearings, about what is going on in this war is that no one has the right answers for what has actually happened today. Forget about the argument of yesterday. Let us talk about today. There was a point when the Secretary of Defense could not answer in a straight way how many U.S. troops we had on the ground. Mr. Secretary, well, we have maybe, the indicators say maybe, you know, the rotation. We do not need to hear that. The American people need to know more about what is going on with this war. Also, in Time magazine, I must add, Halliburton. So after all, now this e-mail appears because the cream will rise to the top, or the truth will, that Vice President Dick Cheney did have something to do with the no-bid contract and Halliburton. It is not the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Meek) report. Check out Time magazine, and here it is in black and white, an unclassified letter that was sent to the highest levels. Secretary Paul Wolfowitz said, one of his superiors said it is fine, go ahead, move on it, it is being coordinated by the Vice President's office. Let me share something with you. This is not small stuff. It is huge. The whole outing of the CIA agent. This is huge.”
