Of the 19 identified terrorists, 15 of them were indentified as Saudis........and the US attacks Iraq?......Iraq was under control since Bush Sr kicked butt back in 1991 or 2........what about the innocent women & children in Iraq?.....no big deal, theres always collateral damage in war, right?.........Bushes "henchmen" can't even find wmd in Iraq!!!!!.......pretty soon will have to get the cia in there to plant the weapons......wait a minute, I don't think the Bushies are on the cia xmas list, & vice versa btw. IMHO the world is alot less safer than it was before the Iraqi invasion.......and your sons & daughters are dying.....sad, sad, sad......obviousy you don't have sons/daughters eligible for military duty or else you would see the fiasco in Iraq differently. It's all about oil Albert!!!!.....live with it......I don't mind you pissing down my back, but don't try to tell me its raining:o) Us industry is the most heavily subsidized/protectionist in the world, therefore by defintion socialized. If your country didn't want our natural resources I'm sure they could go shopping elsewhere......hmmmmmmm, wonder why they buy from us Canucks? The lawmakers said the Pentagon's Defense Energy Support Center imports military fuel from Kuwait to Iraq for $1.08 to $1.19 per gallon, compared with the $2.65 per gallon that Halliburton charges the U.S. government under a no-bid Army contract. Waxman and Dingell said Jeffrey Jones, the recently retired head of the fuel support center, agreed with them that Halliburton's price was too high. Jones, in an interview, said he did not know how Halliburton calculated the price it charges U.S. taxpayers. He said the fuel purchases should cost about 90 cents a gallon in Kuwait and transportation could add 10-to-20 cents more. ‘‘I can't construct a price that high," he said of Halliburton's price. Halliburton has said its price is controlled by the need for more expensive, short-term contracts and the high cost of transportation in a war zone. The company has denied gouging U.S. taxpayers.
