AIG is a great straw dog for the right wing. While KBR/Halliburton continue to rip off the US taxpaers for mulitple millions of dollars, the right wing drug addict/alcoholic mouth pieces (Rush/Beck) focus their attacks elsewhere.
As the local villagers drive around in their Crown Vics and Buicks full of "Support the Troops" magnetic, made in China, ribbons, they refuse to recognize the fact soldiers are getting electroucted while merely taking showers in Iraq due to faulty construction sanctioned by KBR.
Then, when the troops return, they get colonoscopies with non sterile instruments from the VA, and are possibly expose to AIDs.
So get over the AIG issues and start focusing on some more important things such as really truly suporting our troops.
And for those of you so outraged by the bonuses paid by AIG, do you seriously think they ripped off the taxpayers more than KBR/Halliburton??
