ShadowWorks ::: Favorites  2006-06-04 02:32:28 LOL, Thats a classic, 12 billion is from Iraq oil, they dont have oil in Iraq for domestic use! what about the 2 billion in Gold that was removed from Saddam? 80% of contractors have not done half the work! __________________________________________________
banditosyanquis ::: Favorites  2006-06-04 12:22:14 well, that's not entirely true. Iraq does have a sizable amount of oil. __________________________________________________
ShadowWorks ::: Favorites  2006-06-04 13:05:20 They wont get $70 dollars a barrel thats on the stock market, more like $10, how else can we explain record profits from Oil companies when the worlds oil supply is getting lower and harder to extract. Lets not forget this is all about oil, all this Freedom talk is to obfuscate the truth. This dictatorship removal is all BS, there have been hundreds of friendly US and UK supported dictator in the world and Saddam was one of them in the 80s. __________________________________________________
banditosyanquis ::: Favorites  2006-06-04 13:15:31 i agree that one of the main reasons for the invasion was to secure Iraq's natural resources for the military industrial complex. but the "dictatorship removal" is not "all BS". Ultimately, a nexus of militarists and powerful interests brought us the war. There is no one sole reason it happened. __________________________________________________
ShadowWorks ::: Favorites  2006-06-04 13:28:37 I hear what your saying but honestly if you research the facts, no dictators have been removed that killed way more people than Saddam. http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/US_ThirdWorld/dictators.html All these dictators were sponsored by our goverments. __________________________________________________

BI30 ::: Favorites  2007-02-05 01:07:54 One addition I'd include: Wolfowitz, who phrased the reconstruction agreement to circumvent restrictions by the WTO, was later put IN CHARGE of the WTO. Coincidence? I think not. __________________________________________________

BI30 ::: Favorites  2007-02-05 16:00:19 My mistake. You are right. Though he's been infused with the same power there to mold policy to fit the Bush agenda as he would of had he been installed at the WTO. __________________________________________________
