Still confused as to why this current administration is so gung-ho on having wars. Why after 9/11 and militarily dealing with Afghanistan they are still banging the war drums when unemployment is at record highs and the economy is in the pits?
Still wondering how to invest your puny savings when the market is lower than Halle Barry’s necklines?
Well Here are some sure shot options that will never be in the red as long as the current war cabinet is allowed to have their way.
Go ahead, wave that flag and make some money while u’re at it.
Well, the public didn’t want the US intervening in the WW2, they didn’t want it to liberate 3/4th of what used to Yugoslavia, they were even against liberating Kuwait, but by the time the first bullet is fired, the mood switches all of a sudden.
In war there are no winners, but losers. In this particular war, the winners will be the people of Iraq, and the losers will also be people of Iraq. US will just go and do it’s job and come back, as it always has. If the neighbors of Iraq weren’t so impotent, US wouldn’t need to go it alone. Well, 2 or 3 weeks that Saddam is left with, he should enjoy it to the max. Yanks are coming.
Blix said today “Baghdad has yet to demonstrate a genuine acceptance of the need to disarm itself of weapons of mass destruction.” With the State of the Union address taking place tomorrow (rhetoric alert) it looks to be end game. The world will get it’s evidence and Saddam will wish he’d had taken that exile offer.
Meanwhile “Iraq acknowledged on Sunday it had equipped its troops with protective suits against chemical and biological attack for use if such weapons were employed by the United States and its allies.”
Lockheed Martin, maker of the Patriot Advanced Capability, or PAC-3, missile, which is being used in Iraq to intercept ballistic missiles, was up 99 cents, or 2.18 percent, at $46.40 in late-morning trading. Northrop Grumman, maker of the B-2 stealth bomber climbed $1.23, or 1.49 percent, to $83.58
Boeing, auto industries, war contractors, war industries, jobs, spending, money flow, economy up, Israel, USA, a presence in the region, Zionists because of close presence of US troops and armoury, oil, Iraq's resources belonging to America, UN, building contractors responsible for rebuilding Iraq charging 400,000$ to build a two bedroom house, constant eye over the Hijaz, Encircling the Hijaz, domination over Muslims, Muslims working to benefit us (US):), more proof to mod Muslims of our superiority who preach the same to other Muslims and thus breeding more mod Muslims (mAgu)...And many many more...A better question is, who has the most to lose...:)
A unit of Houston-based oilfield services giant Halliburton Co. will organize the oil well firefighting and rehabilitation effort in Iraq just as it did after the 1991 Gulf War, officials said. The value of the contract was not disclosed.
I read today on CNN, that Haliburton has not been short-listed for the contracts in post-war Iraq. The article was vague on which contracts. It suggested that Haliburton can still come in as sub-contractors, but that two other companies are still in the running for these very lucrative contracts.
TEL AVIV (AFP) — **Israeli Infrastructure Minister Joseph Paritzky wants to reopen the pipeline leading from the northern Iraqi city of Mosul to the Israeli port of Haifa after the end of the US-led war in Iraq, the daily Haaretz said Monday. **
The newspaper said Paritzky hoped the large Haifa refineries could be directly supplied with Iraqi oil, saving Israel the cost of importing expensive crude from Russia.
He said he was convinced the US administration would favour the idea, Haaretz said.
After Jewish immigrants occupied Arab Palestine and declared the state of Israel on it in 1948, Iraqi oil was diverted from Haifa’s refineries to Syria. Israel has never signed a peace accord with either Iraq or Syria.
There have been several attempts to reestablish the pipeline, including efforts during the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s, when Syria agreed to an Iranian demand to cut Iraqi oil exports via the Mediterranean.
At the time, Tehran was preventing Iraqi oil tankers from leaving the Gulf, and then Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir proposed bringing the oil through Haifa.
Haaretz reported that Hanan Bar-On, at the time the assistant director general at the foreign ministry, said Sunday that Israel was involved in the 1980s in discussions to build a pipeline bringing Iraqi oil to the Red Sea Port of Aqaba, next to the Israeli resort of Eilat.

People do you actually believe the U.S. congressional democrats would allow Haliburton step one foot in Iraq?
[/QUOTE]
I think they just did n't enter, they already put out fire of some oil wells. Why would US congress stop Halliburton from going into Iraq?

They won't get any government contracts because the republican Dick Cheney V.P. used to be a CEO with them. Democrats won't allow it if they can help it, or else Bush and Friends will not be re-elected.

But Halliburton already put fire out, why?
[/QUOTE]
Because truth is they are qualified and able and have the experience to. But I can't see them in reconstruction contracts rebuilding. No Way will that fly.
Why is that that CEO's with gobs of business experience always manage to run the best companies?
But never the less, I don't think Halliburton is qualified for any post-war contracts. In fact, I think thats all ready been decided.
