T-

Yeah, we had partners, or better put, contacts, in Kuwait... There were no formal partrnerships... The entire tregion is corrupt by American standards and good lieing is considered to be an "honorable trait"... Doesn't matter too much which Middle East county... Them folks all danged good liars... Yeah, the Kuwaiti's are prolly the best but the Saudi's ain't half bad either...

But as fir the 51%??? That is entirely false... All they wanted was their kickbacks... They didn't want to get entangled with leagl partnerships... Cramped their styles...

Plus, takes a lotta grease, kinda like Halliburton does with the US governemnt, to get the contracts... Lotta grease... We paid, oh God, over $100,000 to one family in Kuwait and they said, thanks, we got more from _________!!!

(Ahhhhh, can we have our 100 grand back???)

This was money up front to buy a deal and, ahhhh, I don't trust Kuwaitis no more...

Crooks. just like Halliburton..

BTW, T, ahh did you review the list of stuff the Halliburton is no-bid contratced to do fir us in Iraq that you think no-one else can do???

All looks like purdy easy stuff to me... No rocket surgery in there...
