Lieutenant_kettch Posted October 27, 2004 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 Originally posted by ET Warrior I think a little evidence would be the fact that Haliburton was one of the very first companies who the government signed a contract with after deciding to go to war in Iraq. There's also just the fact that it's basically common knowledge that big business and the government have been in bed together for our entire lives. just so i can get the facts straight, what did this contract entail? or do you not know? are you just spewing out that they signed some contract but you don't know whats in it, but since it is a conract between abig business and the government, it must be bad?

ET Warrior Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 It was a contract entailing how the oil fields would be handled after taking over. Now I don't know about YOU, but to ME that's just like a slap in the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lieutenant_kettch Posted October 27, 2004 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 i think a logical explanation of that, if it is true... would be that, if we got access to the oil, we need a router for it, but i highlky doubt it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/archive/topic/97586-1.html The fact of the matter is that one of the FIRST contracts awarded to any company after we decided to go into Iraq went to an oil company. that doesn't seem odd?

ET Warrior Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Originally posted by Lieutenant_kettch who else would it go to? There are other oil companies but that's not my point. MY point is that they apparently put more thought into what to do with all the oil after we win, than what we'll do with the COUNTRY after we win, or even, how are we going to win.

Lieutenant_kettch Posted October 27, 2004 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 there are no doubts about our victory, not a matter of if, but when, it will be after elections, and we need to do something with the oil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shok_Tinoktin Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 ET, you make it sound like things can't be done simultaneously. I doubt that is what you meant, but it sounds that way. A lot of things can be taken care of during similar time frames. The fact of the matter is, some decisions are easier than others. Figuring out how to win a war, and how to rebuild a wartorn fascist country into a respectable democracy are much more difficult than deciding what to do with the oil.

Doesn't it belong to Iraq? Shouldn't THEY be the ones taking care of it? If this war wasn't atall about oil then why was it so important that we know what we were going to do with it after we "liberated" them. Seems like if WE are taking care of THEIR oil it's not that big of a liberation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saddam was an evil dictator, there's no doubt about that. But you'd have to give me YOUR definition of a terrorist for me to accept that statement, because you can call a LOT of people terrorists.

Shok_Tinoktin Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 terrorist n : a radical who employs terror as a political weapon; usually organizes with other terrorists in small cells; often uses religion as a cover for terrorist activities terrorism n : the calculated use of violence (or threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimindation or coercion or instilling fear Yeah, this sounds like Saddam to me.
