Iraq Battles Islamists in Saddam’s Hometown

"leaving with no plan" didn't occur. Turkey allowing Syrian rebels to use their borders as conduits and letting a fundamentalist insurgency mature at the borders of Syria, Iraq, and Turkey had **** all to do with us leaving Iraq.

 

I'm never concerned with what people who don't have decision making power say.

 

you mean the contract halliburton lost money on?

 

I'm a Darth Vader fan, and Powell reminds me of James Earl Jones.

 

Poor Haliburton. We should throw a telethon for them.

 

Get Basilio and Tony Robinson and Peter Poker on it and it's a thing

 

If they were duped, they have themselves to blame. There was a culture of give evidence that it exists rather than critically evaluate all available intel.

 

I doubt it was the first time they lost money on a job.

 

the point is that cheney hardly benefited financially from the war. it was a ridiculous accusation and still is.

 

Where are you watching tonight? We'll be at Latitude 35.

 

I bet the board and the execs still got paid.

 

Planning on being there

 

Theyr received 39.5 billion dollars in noncompetitive contracts. If they lost money, they are incompetent as well as crooked.

 

I don't think it was or is ridiculous. Whether Halliburton or something else, I didn't and don't believe that war was ever about WMD.

 

they vastly underestimated how dangerous iraq would be after the war and therefore vastly underestimated their costs. And that number is $7 billion.

 

That's because you aren't a dupe or an idiot.

so now we are including contracts given during the obama administration and well after the controversy and given to a company no longer owned by haliburton? all that number proves is that they were and are still the best people to do the job.

 

This just isn't a useful exchange. I suppose me pointing out that Cheney actually directly made over 5 million dollars in 2005 by selling Haliburton stock will also be met with some feeble dismissal. Have at it.

 

only a dupe and an idiot thinks someone will start a war to "win one for daddy."
