Bluster Teribus sheer bluster.

I haven't said the things you say I have said. Sorry - but you must be thinking of two other people.

As for reading things - most people will have read the sneering way in which you asked for the name of the company aiding Iraq to draft its oil law and then when the answer "BearPoint" came along you blustered and blustered.

You still bluster. The neo-cons have to try and justify the bollocks they have made in Iraq, billions of taxpayers' dollars spent on what?; thousands of Americans killed for what?; millions of tax-payers dollars going missing; thousands of weapons going missing and in rebel hands so American soldiers are killed by American weapons; a civil war in progress; the Kurds doing their best to break-away signing oil agreements with American companies which are condemned by the Iraq government; 4 million refugees; etc. etc.

As far the wonders of the private sector........personally I would like to live in a high tax country with quality services - like you do.
