    Justification for the Iraq war!

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Halliburton (HAL.N), the oil giant once run by Vice President Dick Cheney, appears to have been given a bigger role in rebuilding Iraq's oil industry, according to letters between the U.S. military and Congress.

    In a letter sent on Tuesday to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, California Rep. Henry Waxman, a Democrat, raised questions about the contract awarded without competition to a Halliburton subsidiary, Kellogg Brown and Root.

        Yes, I have a question.

        Does this mean the "US started the war to give a government contract to Bechtel" conspiracy theory is out now or is it a combo deal?

                  I have..."skippy". The only news is that Waxman is calling for an investigation. Even that isn't real news...because Waxman frequently calls for investigations into one thing or another. It is a political ploy of his.

                    You know it is not that I give a shit about saddam!

                    my concern here is our rights and liberties!
                    and when you don't call bush out when he is wrong to steal all that money(and don't even try to say that the U.S. population is getting any of it) or be the big bad playground bully any time he wants.
                    then it will not surprise you when you are in jail with no rights or liberty, but most of all freedom. because of what you do or say or believe.

                    does any body really feel safer now than before?
                    I was not worried before 9/11 and I am not worried about my safety now.

                    but now I will worry about my freedoms here at home!
                    and that sucks

                    wake up dude! it is us I am worried about not the Iraqis and bush just keeps pushing the edge a little closer, hell he might even make it felony to masturbate...

                    FUCK IRAQ!!!

                            When I need something done, I like to pick up the phone and contact someone I know I can work with. It's the same case here. Something needed to be done - quickly and correctly - and they called a company that they already knew could handle it.

                              Even though you are correct...I argue that my friend Joe... of Joe's Acme Constuction, who has five employee's, should have recieved the contract.

                                I will try to go a little slower for you ones out their that can't use both sides of your brain.

                                the strong will always get rich, and weak will always get screwed, those two factors are long ago established.

                                And although I do not like this rule, I understand that you have to play by it. (it is your world I am only living in it)

                                THE POINT HERE IS: POWER

                                if you continue to empower this mad man at the helm we are going to crash!

                                I want our liberty back! Osama or Saddam did not take that!

                                our own actions of allowing the right wing to hijack the constitution did that.

                                if you are truly patriotic, rather than idiotic, you would fight for our rights! not just kick the little guy on the playground around cause nobody likes him.

                                I think we should of nuked Afghanistan the day after we new it was them.

                                And I told the whole saddam thing is cool with me .

                                it is the power play against our librty that I am against

                                remember the military oath that says" you will de3fend against all enimies, foreign or from within. how much do you think they will lower gas,really, ask someone in cali about gas prices.

                                so unless somebody in your family owns a gas station you won't see shit from the money

                                maybey another prison or two in your state(you know for jobs)

                                but you will get to watch the missels you paid for being shot off on CNN.

                                  Haliburton isn't an oil giant, it is a oil field equipment developer. It is small potatoes. People... you are dumb... do you think the USA would spend over $100 billion in a war for a country that has maybe some $100 billion in oil reserves... Everyone wants to find some Oliver Stone-esque conspriacy behind everything... your distrust of governemt has so vanished since they killed Kennedy. Grow the fuck up.

                                      I wouldn't go as far as to say that oil was a REASON to invade Iraq, it was just a happy bonus. I think the people in power sincerely believe they have made the American people safer by invading Iraq, and that the costs of their liberties is a small price to pay.

                                      That just makes me question the intelligence and beliefs of the people in power.

                                      To quote Thomas Jefferson, "Those who are willing to sacrifice freedom for safety, deserve neither."

                                        You idiot. Haliburton received a three year $1.5 billion contract.

                                        $1.5 and $100 are two extremely different numbers. Take your Oliver Stone-no trusting-hate Nixon-Hippie-Peace and Love-Still living in the 60s sucking ass to bed.

                                            You will find out that contractors lie, and their is no santa clause.
                                            as much as I would like to protect you from this reality, I am powerless to do so.

                                            The contractor game is to bid low to get the job(not in this case however cause you know they were the most superior of all the choices, oh yeah their weren't any other choices all across this land)

                                            Then they kill you with the upgrades, add -ons and of course the clean up (not included in original bid prices)

                                            I could list all the stuff but I probably lost you back when I statred to make sense>

                                                Hmmmm actually I have always required any contractor to guarantee a delivery price and completion date. At one point in my life I own a small master franchise license which required me to build several retail locations at the same time so I am quite familiar with the process. At no time would I have ever allow a 50 times overbudget as you are supposing.

                                                FYI, Haliburton wasn't the lowest bidder. In fact, the bidding process was not public which I do have issues with...

                                                        There was no bidding , just a straight " hush-hush"contract ...

                                                          Does this mean the "US started the war to give a government contract to Bechtel" conspiracy theory is out now or is it a combo deal?
                                                          I chatted with Nancy Bechtel once at the SF Symphony's opening gala. Talk about a fucking MILF. I would have hit it if her husband was worth a penny less than 15 billion.

                                                                  Oh, Joesho. Are you saying this is a Gilded Age II or that the first one ever ended?

                                                                  You're the one that need to wake up, my friend. A little perspective.

                                                                  What you're doing is presenting speculation ("justification for the Iraq war") as fact. You shouldn't forget that. How do you go from "Halliburton, a company ONCE run by Dick Cheney" to "Bush is stealing the money"?

                                                                  What you're saying is nothing more than what is on every conspiracy site on the web. Paranoid stories written by some fat guy with a hairy back sitting in his Fruit-of-the-Looms and a Green Bay Packers t-shirt. A recently emptied six pack sits beside him and he's just trying to escape the bad memories of a tedious day at work by sitting at his computer in the basement (his nagging wife calls it "the dungeon"). Every night for three weeks he drunkenly taps out something like a combination of 1984, some stuff he read in an article called "The Truth About Iraq" and a few bits he gleaned from eavesdropping on Larry and Carl's conversation at work. You know, the "smart guys"? Finally he uploads his masterpiece entitled "How Madman Bush is Robbing America Blind" to his geocities website. Ah, fame!

                                                                  "Hijack the constitution"? A little perspective. The Patriot Act isn't "the Republicans taking your rights away". Just to start with the act was signed by 70% of Senate Democrats. Everyone's not out to get you or maybe they ALL are.

                                                                  Trivia Question. What do the Patriot Act, the Alien and Sedition Acts, Lincoln' suspension of habeas corpus, the Sedition and Espionage Acts, the Red Scare, the McCarran Act, McCarthyism, and Japanese internment have in common? Each was a reaction to an event that threatened, in the eyes of many, the security of the country.

                                                                  Take a deep breath and realize that soon the Democrats will be back in power and then the other half will be complaining about the same thing the other way. Ah, hell. Enjoy it, man. No one should give up that pleasure.
