Noncompetitive bidding is not fair!!! Especially when **** Cheney has stock options. Maybe he should donate all the money he made off that stock to charity. I'm sure being Vice President is more than enough money to live off of. Halliburton is making money off your company. Why can't we all have noncompetitive government contracts. I want one that last about 30 years.

 

i guess you didn't read 1depd post.

but, i guess you don't believe that because it doesn't fit your agenda.

 

No, again, please stop reading between the lines and trying to inject words that have different meaning then what I stated.

What I stated was:

I did not state there was no money to be made in Iraq and in another post, prior to yours, I pointed out that making money during war is a byproduct of war itself and there really is nothing wrong with it…

We are NOT killing for oil but rather people in the Middle East are dying due to their neglect to follow the obligations their governments agreed to. Citizens of any country are “directly” responsible for what their governments do or do not do…

The view points of the 911 terrorist are not relevant because they are terrorist who slaughtered innocent people for absolutely NO reason whatsoever.

We are the good guys and terrorist are the bad guys, they are very evil people while we are very good people…

So? How is that relevant to the conversation we are having?

I am not aligned with any liberal tenets such as bigger government. Defense has nothing to do with liberal tenets and larger government. Quite frankly I am aligned with conservative values and look to the Untied States Constitution which dictates one of the main responsibilities of the Federal Government is to maintain and fund a military and therefore big government, in the sense of defense, is mandated in the Constitution.

Also, if it takes ever dollar that is collected into the federal government to fund the military and any war then so be it as that is exactly what the Constitution calls for which means if we can not afford to fund the typical liberal programs such as social programs then no problem as the Constitution does not and has never called or dictated the federal government fund those socialist programs…

 

Absolutely and I would hope so as that is how a capitalist country is suppose to work. We make money off Halliburton, Halliburton makes money off us, and you and many other folks have the potential to make money off Halliburton via stocks or opportunities provided due to Halliburton making money…

How else do you think America become the world’s largest superpower?

 

i hear ya, what a joke, at least with sadam in power he kpt iran in check, now we will have o go to war with them next. all this and still no bin ladden the one we should have gotten first priority..... bush...

 

yup your right, our soldiers die so our countries leaders get wealthy....

 

Whatever; It dam sure don't fit my agenda. What a lucky break having all the resources in place..

 

This thread is drifting into the abyss of the personal rant.

 

Thank you. I'm not the only one here.

 

Billions of dollars up for grabs and no one could handle the job except for Halliburton? And this is your rational for no bid contracts? Utter nonsense, do you people know nothing of economics or business? This has been perhaps the largest transfer of wealth from the general populous to special interests (yes that includes Halliburton) in the history of the world. But don’t believe me wait for the congressional investigations!

Lets see what else have we accomplished in Iraq.

We have destabilized the country and helped to create civil war there resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths. (But they’re only Iraqi citizens so you probably don’t care)

The death toll for our military is plus 3,000 and growing by the day.

The Republican party has suffered greatly and will continue to lose ground as the American public becomes more aware of the fraud perpetrated upon them.
This will in fact help the Left with their various other causes which you despise.

The Bush dynasty is finished.

The world opinion of the United States has suffered greatly.
I would argue that we are less safe today from terrorists than had we not invaded Iraq.

There is no end in sight to the conflict in Iraq as we continue to pour money into the fiasco. If we ever do stabilize Iraq what about all the other Muslim countries that could be a launching grounds for terrorist?

And you people sit here and try to justify this complete and utter debacle?

I am amazed.

P.S.
I still like you, we are All Americans!

 

 

So true.

 

Shows your ignorance right there. There is no need to argue with you. You got it all figured out...

 

Yeah, Ronald Reagan was ignorant. Sheez. He was the best president we've had.

 

You just don’t get it. It’s over! Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al have sold us out. The AP today cited 350 BILLION as the figure we have sunk into Iraq and the violence is still escalating.

Meanwhile illegal aliens stream across our borders and Bush does nothing. The Democrats will control Congress, and soon the White House, thanks in good part to the Iraq conflagration.

And anyone who looks at the horrendous cost to America for the Iraq mistake is labeled a Liberal? Please. Look out there’s Liberals lurking everywhere! The horror. The horror. If anyone who knows me heard me referred to as a Liberal they would bust out laughing.

But click your heels together three times and keep repeating to yourself-- It’s all the fault of the Liberals…….It’s all the fault of the Liberals…….
