Really. You actually think that German companies could have sold Iraq, 50% of its nuclear machinery, and 50% of Iraqs equipment to make chemical WMD, and you somehow believe the German gov. had no idea. Wrong. Here is a portion of the Copngressional record, going bach as far as 1989, warning the German gov. of massive sales by its corporations. fas.org; What's your agenda? You go after the Germans but you ignore the failings of your own gov't: Message 19786897

"The Dresser merger also raised ethical questions. The United States had concluded that Iraq, Libya, and Iran supported terrorism and had imposed strict sanctions on them. Yet during Cheney’s tenure at Halliburton the company did business in all three countries. In the case of Iraq, Halliburton legally evaded U.S. sanctions by conducting its oil-service business through foreign subsidiaries that had once been owned by Dresser. With Iran and Libya, Halliburton used its own subsidiaries. The use of foreign subsidiaries may have helped the company to avoid paying U.S. taxes." newyorker.com I don't suppose you read John Fowler's article from the New Yorker. If you had, you would realize that Halliburton under Cheney found ways to avoid the UN sanctions on Iraq. But wait.......you don't care. Anything the US does is all good......even when its bad, huh?
