Ted Re...Ted Re...Its hard for me to understand the double standard. Really. Think about it. Halburton sells oil sevices equipment, which was allowed, under the sanctions, nuclear and chemical WMD weren't. You must really be proud of that article, which shows Halburton was selling oil services to Iraq under the oil for food programs, as you have posted it several times. I have explained why that legal selling of oil services hardly compares to 80 German companies selling against sanctions, 50% of Iraq WMD in the 80s and 90s. Show me why you think they are comparable. If they were all so legal, why did Halliburton go through its foreign subsidies to avoid the sanctions? And why was a soon to be VP of the US pushing such tactics? Sounds slimy to me! And as for your German claims.......let's make clear, those sales took place in the '80s. To date you have not shown us proof that they happened in the '90s. And of course, there are no German made WMD in Iraq as further verification that you talking out of both sides of your mouth.
