He is seeking damages from the companies for deceiving him into thinking he was buying munitions legally. "U.S. military warheads and U.S. military hardware are supposed to stay with the U.S. military," said Robert Gorence, a lawyer for Hudak. The lawsuit contends that Jet Research Center, a division of Halliburton Energy Services and others conspired to sell thousands of U.S. military warheads to Hudak and others. The suit contends the sales to the private sector were not permissible under the rules by which the companies acquired the munitions. The lawsuit contends the companies were obligated to destroy the munitions but found it more profitable to sell them instead. Makes you wonder where those missing weapons of mass destruction went to. Maybe we should ask Halliburton. d |

24 Oct 04 - 02:31 AM (#1305432) Subject: RE: BS: Hmmm - Maybe we should ask Halliburton From: Nerd Okay, Old Guy, here goes. This thread had nothing to do with no bid contracts given by Halliburton. It was a completely different issue dealing with Halliburton's illegal sales of weapons. But the only thing you seem to be able to say regarding Halliburton is "Clinton gave them no-bid contracts too! Clinton gave them no-bid contracts too!" Even when that is irrelevant. That is the note you play on your noseflute. The score is the actual context of the conversation. You play that note no matter what the score says. Get it now, old guy? |

24 Oct 04 - 02:31 PM (#1305755) Subject: RE: BS: Hmmm - Maybe we should ask Halliburton From: dianavan What is important is that we find out why Halliburton is selling U.S. military warheads and hardware to others. This is highly illegal and tells me that Halliburton is deeply involved in the blackmarket of weapon sales. This case, brought to light by a Canadian, might reveal to the world, the real Dick Cheney. d |

24 Oct 04 - 03:03 PM (#1305791) Subject: RE: BS: Hmmm - Maybe we should ask Halliburton From: CarolC I think, if we're going to be asking questions like Old Guy's, ie: if Clinton awarded contracts to Halliburton, is it not also find and dandy if Bush awards contracts to Halliburton as well, we need to take a look at the question from a slightly different perspective. (I know this is off the topic of the thread, sorry.) So here goes: to what extent is Bush administration foreign policy and strategy in other countries determined by what Halliburton sees as being in its own best interest, considering the fact that Cheney, former CEO of Halliburton, is now the Vice President (and, some would say, defacto president)? |

I've let the person who started the thread determione what it's about, and it turns out it's not about Bill Clinton. Imagine that! Wanna play your noseflute some more, big guy? I wonder if you will be constitutionally unable to refrain from responding to this, just to see your words on the screen? |

24 Oct 04 - 04:07 PM (#1305846) Subject: RE: BS: Hmmm - Maybe we should ask Halliburton From: Old Guy D: Why don't you draw some conclusions and your reasoning for them? Can you prove that John Kerry is not actually a French secret agent sent here to turn America into a second class country so the French can dominate the world? Makes you wonder dosn't it? Maybe we should ask Jacque Chirac. He is supposedly subject to corruption charges from when he was the Mayor of Paris but he is immune from investigation as long as he is President of France.

All I see is something hatched and left for others to nurture. If this thread is about The Evil Halliburton, as I think it is, Clinton was involved with giving work to The Evil Halliburton so it is pertinent. Do you have anything to contribute besides meat whistlings? Steer it your way. Old Guy |

24 Oct 04 - 11:42 PM (#1306274) Subject: RE: BS: Hmmm - Maybe we should ask Halliburton From: Stilly River Sage Old Guy, like a few others, is lacking the rhetorical skills necessary in these discussions so will ALWAYS try to change the subject. There are two issues here: Halliburton illegally selling weapons that should be destroyed, and the man charged with the crime, who spent 17 months in prison before being acquitted last November on a variety of federal weapons charges. Another casualty of the Bush administration? This "war on terror" puts a lot of people into prison and doesn't bother to ask questions for a long time, unless someone holds their feet to the fire. Hell, even this corrupt Supreme Court isn't letting Bush get away with much of this Patriot Act stuff. SRS |

25 Oct 04 - 04:10 AM (#1306383) Subject: RE: BS: Hmmm - Maybe we should ask Halliburton From: Metchosin The bottom line is "get the bucks!" To corporations like Haliburton, laws, government regulations and morality are just annoying little inconveniences to somehow side step or manoever around. After all, Rumsfeld had no problem as a director of ABB, selling nuclear reactors to North Korea. Why expect anything better with Haliburton?

25 Oct 04 - 09:35 AM (#1306534) Subject: RE: BS: Hmmm - Maybe we should ask Halliburton From: McGrath of Harlow "Maybe we should ask Halliburton" has the makings of being the kind of catch phrase that outlives the person who gave rise to it. It's got the kind of rhythm that gives a phrase legs. "Where are my socks?" - "Maybe we should ask Halliburton." "Someone's used up all the milk" - "Maybe we should ask Halliburton." "There's a horrible mess on the kitchen floor" - "Maybe we should ask Halliburton." "Who forgot to pull the chain? - "Maybe we should ask Halliburton." I think it works quite well. You'd use it in any situation where something has happened that shouldn't happen, and no one is owning up. |

25 Oct 04 - 12:47 PM (#1306716) Subject: RE: BS: Hmmm - Maybe we should ask Halliburton From: GUEST,petr well cbc's fifth estate had a good documentary about Cheney and Halliburton. The most interesting bit was about Halliburton selling equipment & parts to Iran (in violation of US law) through an intermediary (a Canadian from Iran). They got around the law by selling through their office in the Cayman Islands (which happens to be only a mailbox). Of course the buyer wasnt doing anything illegal as he was in Canada. But according to US investigators it didnt matter he was violating US law. He was lured to the US to meet with a supplier and promptly arrested and spent several years in jail. His question was why am I in jail and not Dick Cheney (who was vp at the time). Good QUestion. bet that documentary wont play on fox. |

27 Oct 04 - 12:03 AM (#1308294) Subject: RE: BS: Hmmm - Maybe we should ask Halliburton From: dianavan For those of you who insisted that Iraq had WMD's - please explain to me why the U.S. did not protect the store of ammunitions in Iraq that they already knew about? Why did they boot the U.N. out when they obviously had no intention of continuing the search or guarding the known weapons and explosives? Seems to me that the U.S. was totally unconcerned about weapons of any kind. So if they were unconcerned about weapons, why was it so necessary to invade Iraq? Do they simply want to occupy Iraq forever? Maybe we should ask Halibuton how much they have made of this war already. d |
