If they wanted to steal the oil, wouldn't they just take it?
If you break in to a store, and buy all their inventory, is that stealing?

Sure we're buying it, and we're paying Halliburton to do the work. Who's company is that anyway? Think Bush and Cheney got any peice of that action? Think there's a reason they picked that particular company and not the slew of other oil companies that could have done the work?
Stop talking about the US like we're some kind of wonderful country that liberates impoverished societies and isn't driven purely by commerce... think again. We aren't there to help them, we're there to help ourselves. Actually I use the word "ourselves" too liberally, Bush and Cheney are there to help themselves specifically.
