Not sure what Obama has to do with this but for the sake of argument, let's say it was his decision. He listened to the Army and Gen. Odierno and went by their wishes. How many times have I heard people say Obama should listen to the generals in the field for issues that pertain to the field? If Obama put the kibosh on this, those same people would be criticizing him for overriding the generals. It's a no-win situation for him.

For the record, I'm totally against no-bid contracts.

"The Army didn’t put this work out for bids because U.S. commanders in Iraq advised against it, saying that enlisting a new company would be too disruptive as the U.S withdraws, Army program director Lee Thompson said in an interview before the Justice Department action was announced.

Odierno’s View

The view of General Ray Odierno, the U.S. military commander in Iraq, was crucial to the decision, Army Chief of Staff General George Casey told reporters today.

“Odierno said, ‘I’ve got three million pieces of equipment I’ve got to get out of Iraq, I’ve got 100 or so bases to close, I’ve got to move 80,000-plus people out of here and you want me to change horses in the middle of the stream?’” Casey recounted.

The U.S. force in Iraq is scheduled to shrink from 94,000 troops today to 50,000 by August, with a complete withdrawal by December 2011."

That's 'cause only Obamanation can allow no-bid contracts. It doesn't matter that general's who were in command under Bush may have had similar reasoning...nope, Bush, to shrill libtards always= bad.

Bush was always bad. He'll go down as one of America's worst 5 Presidents.

Bush being the top 5 worst is the indie view.

Just like you always told us, Bush is in charge. Now Obama is in charge. Deal with it.

I already said I'm against no-bid contracts so what the heck are you talking about?

How history judges Bush will depend largely by how Iraq and Afghanistan end up... and no... he is not in the bottom five.... even now. Though he is close.

My guess is he will end up ahead of Carter before all is said and done.

Also... if Obama ends up adding $6-7 trillion to the debt in his first four years, he will surpass Bush on the 'Presidents who suck' list... not to mention he will be a one termer like Carter.
