Wow, thats just sick. But the MSM will ignore it.

Oh my God. I'm literally crying. This is ridiculous.

I can't believe I'm a college student and have my entire life left to see just how bad it's going to get.

First the Depleted Uranium. Now poisoning the water supply?! Oh Jesus.

What can we do? Can we send the troops Iodine tablets? :(

To think... murderers and rapists get clean water in prison...

I doubt it would help to send Iodine tables if nobody is telling them the water is tainted. They actually believe what they are told about the water being treated.

Reminds me of the time we found a dead rat in our water tank on the ship after returning to the U.S. Seems it was hiding in a hose when we filled the tank from shore water. Luckily, the corpsman was testing the water and adding chlorine as needed to kill the bacteria. The rat had probably been in that tank for around 4 months.

I think it is a gross overstatement to call the disgraceful provision of filthy, germy water "poisoning."

I agree, the thread title is completely false.

Yes, it should probably read, 'Halliburton caught infecting troops in Iraq.' :)

I agree. I don't like sensationalism. To me, the ways that Halliburton is neglectful and irresponsible is a huge scandal in itself.

I don't think there poisoning our troops I'd just used the title of the video but still its awful that our troops are not getting the clean water that they think they are getting.
