Not since Richard Nixon has a
man matched the zeitgeist of the times as
perfectly as does Republican Rep. Duncan
Hunter, who just announced a run for the White
House in 2008.
The knee-jerk ‘pooh-pooh birds’
in the ‘negative nabob crowd’ are missing some
good reasons--and some good laughs as
well--for paying close attention to this
Republican Representative from a suburb of San
Diego.
Actually, they may be missing
ten good reasons...No
kidding...
He could teach us all...
a lot.
Top 10 Reasons To Go Dunkin’ with Duncan:
10. “A
Man for our Time.”
We
are currently in the fifth year
of the war in Iraq. Remember the towering
figure that came along during the fifth
year of the Vietnam War?
Right! Richard Nixon!
And guess what? Just like Nixon,
Duncan Hunter is a politician who
isn’t afraid to refer to himself in the third
person.
During his announcement speech
yesterday, for example, he
said that “In typical Duncan Hunter fashion, I
didn't
consult with any Republican leader."
Just like Nixon!

9.
Duncan has a “Secret Plan to End the War.”
Well, Nixon did.
And he got us the hell out of that unpopular
war, too… just
five years
later!
So we think Duncan probably
does, too.
8. Is
unburdened by useless emotions.
In June 2000, the Pentagon
Inspector General reported that several
important projects had lost funding because
"two congressmen" (Dunkin Duncan
Hunter and Randy the “Duke-ster” Cunningham)
had pressured defense officials to shift money
to give the-still un-indicted Brent Wilke’s
company a contract to digitize historical
documents from the Panama Canal Zone.
The shift in funding was
causing some military officers to "lose
confidence in the fairness of the selection
process," the Inspector General reported.

Is our man Duncan burdened by old-fashioned
guilt or shame?
No way! And, let’s face it, watching disgraced
former Congressman Randy “Duke”
Cunningham “boo-hoo” it through his
off-to-the-slammer address to the
nation was an embarrassment to the nation.
Duncan’s made of sterner stuff.
‘Nuff Said.
7. Can
Teach Us “Chutzpah for Gentiles”
He’s
currently under investigation by the FBI for
helping loot the U.S. Treasury of as much as
$190 million for Defense contracts the
Pentagon never asked for, and didn’t want.
The money went to AD CS instead of projects for
the Army's UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter, Air
Force bases, and a parts center in Oklahoma,
according to the report by the Pentagon
inspector general, prompted by a request from
a Defense official.
So, what’s he do? Announce that he's...
resigning?
No way, Jose... he’s running
for President! In his
speech, Duncan got serious for a moment… “You
know, 26 years ago, I campaigned as a
candidate for Congress on this waterfront. And
in this harbor, there were ships that couldn't
sail, Navy ships, and in our carrier air
wings, there were aircraft that couldn't fly
because of lack of spare parts.”
If that’s not chutzpah, we don’t know what is!
Go Dunk Go!
6.
Helped San Diego become Corruption Capital of
America... from Scratch!
Anyone
can excel at semi-organized crime in a place
like Brooklyn or Detroit. But San Diego has
long been known as “Iowa with a beach.”
To go from there to its current
lofty status as a place with Congressman on
the take from Defense Contractors on the loose
in a bankrupt city that can’t seem to elect a
Mayor that can remain un-indicted...
A billion dollar pension shortfall...Rogue
contractors like Titan Corp bribing everything
that moves... no wonder it's a place where
Bobby Inman’s SAIC can feel right at home!
Sure he had help… but Duncan was
there!
5.
Could help laid-off American workers retrain
for white collar crime.

Unless you count the hookers in
Brent Wilke’s hospitality suite, Duncan
Hunter’s coziest relationship has long been
with his biggest campaign contributor, defense
contractor Titan Corp., which
issued a press release in 2004
announcing they were purchasing
a
half-billion dollars worth of a product that
didn't exist from
a company about to go bankrupt,
whose excited investors were soon left holding
the bag.
That's genius!
“SkyWay Communications Holdings
Corp Announces New Business Strategy as the
Result of Agreement with Major US Defense
Contractor,” read
the press release headline.
"We are excited about the possibilities Sky
Way Aircraft System technology offers," said
Titan's David Stinson.”
But here's the beauty part...
Before signing on with Titan
the excited Mr. Stinson was the executive vice
president of
Intergraph
in Annapolis Maryland, which
had an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)
deal with Brent Wilke’s ADCS Inc. that
first opened the money spigot now
being investigated by the FBI.
Why this is important is our no. 4 reason we
like Duncan...
4. Can
help ordinary Americans get shot at big bucks
in drug trafficking.
Titan
officials have never explained why a billion
dollar defense contractor with sensitive
government defense and intelligence contracts
loaned its name and prestige to a soon-to-be-bankrupt
firm whose owners were at that moment
stripping it of everything not nailed down,
and painting DC9’s to impersonate U.S.
Homeland Security planes.
Skyway Aircraft, the shadowy St. Petersburg FL
company whose investors Titan Corporation
helped defraud with a press release announcing
the purchase of as much as a half billion
dollars worth of the company’s non-existent
product…just before it went under…
also owned a DC9 dubbed "Cocaine One" which
was busted in Mexico in April of this year
with 5.5 tons of cocaine onboard!
Criminal diversification! Duncan knows how its
done.
3.Can’t
Say "You Don’t Know Jack"...And Dana!
A Lear jet used by Cunningham
and DeLay was paid for using money "passed
through" to San Diego "businessman" Wilkes.
DeLay flew from Dulles Airport in Washington
D.C., to John Wayne Airport in Orange County,
for example, to appear at a campaign dinner
for Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Huntington Beach.
Dana Rohrabacher
gave a sterling personal recommendation, to
Adam Kidan, the "dunsky (John Gotti's phrase)
about to be indicted for paying for the brutal
murder of Sun Cruz Casino Line owner Gus
Boulis... with a check.
Rohrabacher
was there when the cult first began to do
business as The Enterprise, in Angola, for
example, with Jack Abramoff... and
Oliver North.
And Duncan's on a first name
basis with them all!
2.
Won’t Rest on His Laurels
The allegations of corporate
lawlessness being leveled against Titan Corp.
are unprecedented for a mid-sized defense
contractor, on a scale not seen since the
Lockheed bribery scandals of the 1970’s
.
Now Titan Corp has been purchased by
even-larger Defense firm L3 Corporation, a
leading provider of Intelligence, Surveillance
and Reconnaissance systems to the Department
of Defense, Department of Homeland Security,
selected U.S. Government intelligence agencies
and aerospace prime contractors.
With Duncan Hunter leading the way…
there’s room for growth!
And the Number One Reason to Go
Dunkin with Duncan...
1. "Knows How to Play the Game."
In
a deal with Brent Wilke’s ADCS Inc. currently
being “investigated”
(until
the heat dies down)
by the FBI, Duncan taught a
naive contractor how to inflate the price of
software that cost $6000 per copy and charge
the Pentagon more
than five times
more than the vendor was asking!
The deal Hunter brokered resulted--not just in
massive mark-ups--but massive mark-ups on a
product the Pentagon never even wanted or
asked for!
“John Karpovich, who helped run
the document conversion program at the Defense
Department before his retirement, said Wilkes
infuriated Pentagon staff by claiming that the
document conversion money belonged to him,”
reported the Washington Post.
"Brent came in and said, 'That's our money,"'
Karpovich
recalled. "He said, 'The congressmen put the
money in there for us."'
Karpovich told us he’d watched the deal being
put together by Bent Wilkes, House Armed
Services Chairman Duncan Hunter, and the
just-deposed No. 3 man at the CIA, Dusty
Foggo.
“Brent called me said he heard the product was
great, and asked me to meet him in Washington.
He had a suite at the Watergate. We met there
and went to dinner with Dusty Foggo. He seemed
like a sharp guy, at least he knew the inside
of the government pretty well. We went to
dinner with Dusty, and he and Brent talked
about old times.”
Karpovich was castigated by Duncan Hunter, he
told us, for trying to sell the software to
the Pentagon too cheaply.
“In the meeting Duncan Hunter pointed to me
and said to Wilkes, "Your
boy doesn’t know how to play the game,'"
said Karpovich.
“They took a $6000 product,
gave it another name, and sold it to the
defense department for $32000 a pop.”
"Later on we began to get calls from military
bases around the country," said Karpovich.
“They
were saying, hey, we just got this expensive
software. What are we supposed to do with it?”
What a resourceful guy like Duncan would say:
“Use it to armor
your humvees!”
So, Duncan, no matter what
anyone says, hang in there... And ignore the
protests of any parents of dead soldiers who
think we needed more armor instead of xerox's
of old documents from the Panama Canal!
What do they know anyway?
