How much did France and Russia get from that deal Jack? When are you liberals going to recognize that the abuses of the Oil for Food Program was a major travesty? I know, of course ...never! It doesn't suit your purpose because it shows the UN for what it is! DougR |

How much did France and Russia get from that deal Jack Probably not anywhere near as much as Haliburton while Dick Cheney was in charge there (done illegally - in violation of US laws, I might add). |

From: CarolC Oh, yeah... so if abuse of the Oil for Food Program is such a "major travesty", and since Haliburton (under Cheney) was in violation of US laws about trading with Iraq while doing business with Saddam's regime, and at the same time, was abusing the Oil for Food Program, when are we going to see you, DougR, calling for Cheney's imprisonment? |

Kofi Annan's Son has been cleared of the alligations for at least a year. The US was the number one customer of Oil for Food. Houston oilmen, no doubt friends of W., were just as complicit as anyone else. |

Got to have a link to the info that confirms that! I heard just this past week that the justice department is carrying on an intense investigation of his son right now! Carol C: I'm confident that if you can produce evidence that Dick Cheany committed a crime, he will be prosecuted. Do you have the address for the Justice Department in Washington, D. C.? I think it's availabe on the government's website. I know they would be glad to see your evidence. DougR |

20 Oct 04 - 02:50 AM (#1301402) Subject: RE: BS: Iraq pays 3.8m in Repairations to Pepsi? From: Mark Cohen Doug, did you read the article Jack linked to? Do you remember back in the good old prewar days, not to mention the "Mission Accomplished" days, that one of the main purposes of this glorious war was to save the poor Iraqi people from living under the crushing dictatorship of Saddam Hussein? Remember that? Now the poor struggling multinational corporations are trying to stick it to the Iraqi people for "damages" they suffered at the hands of Saddam Hussein, who is now in prison. I think that is outrageous, and an insult to the memory of the servicemen and women who have already died in this bloody war. If you are the red-blooded American you claim to be, Doug, you should be outraged at this, too. You should be calling for our government to tell the UN to cancel those "reparations." Countries all over the world have been forgiving Iraq's debts, to help the Iraqi people get back on their feet. Do you think that Halliburton and Pepsico deserve a better deal than Great Britain and Japan? If so, Doug, then you're not a patriotic American, after all. You're just a shill for Halliburton. But of course, you have the answer, don't you? "Oh, yeah? Well look at what those other guys did." That's the reply of a first grader who got caught doing something he shouldn't have. My first grade teacher didn't buy it, Doug, and it still doesn't fly. I don't want to sound angry, but guess I am. I'm sure you're a good person and a good musician, Doug, and I'm sure we could have a good conversation over a beer sometime. But I just get so very tired of your automatic programmed responses to any comment that is critical of the Bush/Republican line. Now I know why people used to get so upset at "knee-jerk liberals" -- it's very frustrating listening to a knee-jerk conservative. Aloha, Mark |

From: McGrath of Harlow "Two wrongs don't make a right" And respondintg to a criticism of someone you admire by pointing off into the distance to someone you think the person who made the criticism might admire is never a valid way of arguing. Once we have dealt with a criticism, by either disproving it, or accepting it, then talking about the faults of someone else is fair enough. But not until then. |

I thought I'd say that before Doug comes back saying that the other guys do this sort of thing as well. Because that's irrelevant, or some other pachyderm. |
