Remarks by U.S. Senator Robert C. Byrd on Final Passage of Iraq Supplemental Appropriations Bill http://byrd.senate.gov/byrd_speeches/byrd_speeches_2003october/ byrd_speeches>_2003october_list/byrd_speeches_2003october_list_3.html
Byrd has stolen vast amounts of money to support his cronies. The number of "slave-lives" (via taxation) to build the "Robert Byrd Memorial Memorials" is in the high tens of thousands. according to Tribunal Watch, the watchdog group keeping tabs on the high crimes of everyone in government. Byrd dislikes the Bush War because he couldn't get in on any of the Halliburon, Bechtel, Zapata, and Wackenhut largesse. His hopes were dashed when West Virginia was passed-over for the site of Camp X-Ray and when, worst of all, WVa was not selected as the processing center for Iraqis to pay their taxes through. He'd been counting on his usual rakeoff. --Tim May "He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster.
