UK will not use nuclear weapons if invaded.
US will not use nuclear weapons if if US forces are attacked with bio/chem weapons

yes it would be very hard to do and would be a last resort, but it would happen. britain has had many wars right through history, thats one thing, but when was the last time it was invaded? We're no longer a superpower but the people here just wouldn't accept invasion and what seems totally unnacceptable now, would suddenly become acceptable at the threat of invasion. i'm not talking general warfare in some way off country i'm, talking an invasion of britain.

all the nuclear powers would use them under those circumstances (invasion) if pushed to it. You (the US) used nukes in japan and they weren't invading you or using chemical weapons. it may have been 50 years ago but not a lot has changed since then in that respect i doubt.

They have not ever tested an ICBM, but it is believed that they may have one in the works, that may or may not be able to reach Alaska, or possibly the west coast. It is not actually known if they have nuclear weapons, but our CIA believes that it is possible that they have 1-3 nukes. At the present they do not have the capability to reach out and touch the USA and the USA will never allow them to have that capability, period.

Halliburton, a company with 85, 000 employees in 100 countries that has extensive experiences in exactly that is going to bid on the contract? Nothing wrong with that.

Now, if they unfairly win the contract we can knowingly wink at each other. ;-)

Naah...I have this friend "Joe's Acme Construction" he and his five employees should get the bid.

Back in government service, he drafted a federal Energy Plan that encouraged blackouts like the ones in California, but withheld from Congress 13,500 pages implicating his oil and electricity pals who may have dictated it."

Bling, bling.

It's all in how you tell the story ... For example, I could write;

Cheney left government service after Clinton won the White House. During Clinton's remarkable presidency, Cheney became the CEO of Halliburton. In 5 years as CEO, Halliburton increased it's governmental contracts by 91%. Some of this was the result of acquisitions of companies with existing government contracts. When he retired, he received a $34 million retirement package.

Do you have an invested interest in any Texas based oil companies apart from say; trying to save a few cents at the pump?

You seem like a logical thinker, why do you succumb to this nonsense that this war is anything but about black gold?
