Ten Reason Bu$h needs this WAR!!!

die for oil, suckas....

that was on a protest sign at washington demonstration....

I thought it was ironic...

BTW...has Bu$h ever told who will get the oil contracts after liberation....NO!!!! Iraq says the contracted will be void after liberation.

....i'm guessing Cheney's Halliburton, Condoleezza Rice's Chevron, Bu$h's Mobil Exxon.....and who will win...all of Bu$h's buddies...

 

Have you ever put a tank of Halliburton gas in your tank? Change oil on your bike using Halliburton 10w-50? Charged that steak dinner using Halliburton plastic?

don't forget the French built a Nuclear Reactor in IRAQ. we gave him weapons in the IRAN/IRAQ war....

 

The point you're missing is that the French continue to supply Saddam with weapons after they agreed with UN sanctions.

 

Here's a story I found on Halliburton, and good ole boy Cheney...conflict of interest, I say....

During former defense secretary Richard Cheney's five-year tenure as chief executive of Halliburton, Inc., his oil services firm raked in big bucks from dubious commercial dealings with Iraq. Cheney left Halliburton with a $34 million retirement package last July when he became the GOP's vice-presidential candidate.

Of course, U.S. firms aren't generally supposed to do business with Saddam Hussein. But thanks to legal loopholes large enough to steer an oil tanker through, Halliburton profited big-time from deals with the Iraqi dictatorship. Conducted discreetly through several Halliburton subsidiaries in Europe, these greasy transactions helped Saddam Hussein retain his grip on power while lining the pockets of Cheney and company.

According to the Financial Times of London, between September 1988 and last winter, Cheney, as CEO of Halliburton, oversaw $23.8 million of business contracts for the sale of oil-industry equipment and services to Iraq through two of its subsidiaries, Dresser Rand and Ingersoll-Dresser Pump, which helped rebuild Iraq's war-damaged petroleum-production infrastructure. The combined value of these contracts exceeded those of any other U.S. company doing business with Baghdad.

Halliburton was among more than a dozen American firms that supplied Iraq's petroleum industry with spare parts and retooled its oil rigs when U.N. sanctions were eased in 1998. Cheney's company utilized subsidiaries in France, Italy, Germany, and Austria so as not to draw undue attention to controversial business arrangements that might embarrass Washington and
jeopardize lucrative ties to Iraq, which will pump $24 billion of
petrol under the U.N.-administered oil-for-food program this year. Assisted by Halliburton, Hussein's government will earn another $1 billion by illegally exporting oil through black-market channels.

With Cheney at the helm since 1995, Halliburton quickly grew into
America's number-one oil-services company, the fifth-largest military contractor, and the biggest nonunion employer in the nation. Although Cheney claimed that the U.S. government "had absolutely nothing to do" with his firm's meteoric financial success, State Department documents obtained by the Los
Angeles Times indicate that U.S. officials helped Halliburton secure major contracts in Asia and Africa. Halliburton now does business in 130 countries and employs more than 100,000 workers worldwide. Its 1999 income was a cool $15 billion.

In addition to Iraq, Halliburton counts among its business partners several brutal dictatorships that have committed egregious human rights abuses, including the hated military regime in Burma (Myanmar).

 

I had to chime in with my different political views.
1. I don't support a war with Iraq without UN Coalition Force
2. I support our troops no matter what the decision is (except for the desk jockies. )
3. We really do not have a valid reason to go into Iraq. WMD. A lot of countries have them (Pakistan, India, North Korea, China Russian Republic) so should we invade them too?
4. Saddam is a punk beyotch, and that's it.
5. The middle east is ate up like a soup sandwich because there are too many hands stirring the pot while calling it black. We should back out (IMHO) and let them figure it out. We do not need oil.
6. Saddam is an evil person. So are a lot of people. We need to leave them alone.
7. Scared of getting a nuke or a chemical attack here in America? You just let the Terrorists win. Period. There is no way they could have more than 4 nukes. That's 4 cities. If I am living in the one it goes off in, I am screwed no matter what.
8. We are going after Saddam because of the terrorist ties. What about indonesian, pakistan, Saudi, Iran, Turkey, Greece, France (gawd I hate them, they need to be nuked just because), Libya, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebannon (remember the Marines that fell there) UAE.... why not those countries.

Time to find some free porn.....

 

When those soldiers are caught they can be shot and killed as spies. Nice justice eh?

Just Wondering,

AMEN Brother!!

 

Dude, that's becuase they plagarized it from a Canadian proposal!!!!!

I've never been against a war (I'm only against a unilateral war), I think Saddam is a madman and a butcher. His death will not sadden me at all.

The last time we listened to a Bush, we wandered in the desert for 40 years.

It really is as simple as this, Hussein has NEVER EVER lived up to the deals he made when he gave up in 91(although he declared it a victory to his own people). It makes me ill that I'm going back again and again to deal with this piece of shit. Should have been handled long ago. Instead of Operations Southern Watch and Desert Fox it should have been Operation You Didn't Keep Your End Of the Deal and Now We're Done Pandering To the Rest Of The Arab World. Who cares what we find tomorrow or two weeks or two months from now, this crap has been going on for TWELVE years!

And Gunner, was that your bird out front for the last two days, or just one of your buddies on his way through? If it was, keep your head down, and I'll see ya there real soon.

You tree-huggin, pillow biting peace freaks keep it to yourselves, it'sa old and boring, insert Jack Nicholson speech from A Few Good Men here.

I don't care who the President is, this needs to be done, and to suggest it is a one man's or a few men's personal agenda/s is ignorant. Here's a quarter, buy a clue!!!!!!!!!!

 

Oh sh*t he's right! We're gonna need some more bombs!!!

Can we add Canada to that list? Just for sh*ts and giggles?
I'm kidding Due...well sorta

 

And just to clarify, I'm not a big fan of the way this whole deal is being presented by the administration or the press. The tie in to the war on terror is pretty weak, but it still should be a no brainer to anyone who watches more than the last fifteen minutes of the crap on TV to form their opinions that it is a necessity. OK, I feel better now, back to work teaching young fresh teenagers how to be war mongers!!!

 

Keep marching for peace, better yet get Iraq to march for peace. It's easier to defeat them this way. I love peaceful people they are easier targets.

The Iraq government can have a very peaceful end to this war, Give the Fuck up and disarm. It's as simple as that.


IT IS TIME TO PAY THE PIPER!

 

IRAQ a threat come.... what are they going to do to attack us with box cutters?? lob a grenade??

The real threat is KOREAN... they have a nut job for a leader...
10 million man army.... and possible nuclear weapons.

...but then they wouldn't be pissed at us if we would just live up economic support we promised them.... once again Bush didn't tell the people that....

you see the slippery slope we're going down here.....who's next...
indonesian, pakistan, Saudi, Iran, Turkey, Greece, Libya, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebannon...like alphabet soup....
