Stained by corruption

[Psycho4Bud]

The Volcker report reveals how the major players most fiercely opposed to military intervention â?? Russia, France and China â?? were by far the biggest beneficiaries of Saddam's strategy of "playing favourites" in oil deals and supply contracts. Russian companies garnered more than $A25 billion in oil purchases; French companies $5.7 billion; Chinese companies $6.4 billion.

:eek: Amazing!!! How could this be!!! And here I thought only the Industrial Military Complex of the U.S. was capable of something of this magnitude!!! :eek: Pisshead, say it ain't so!!

BWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! :D

Besides the U.N., it looks like we have three winners that should pay the U.S. for this war. :D

[andruejaysin]

So how much did US companies gain from the war? All that oil, and not a penny for Haliburton, something must be done! Wait, I thought this war was about democracy, not oil.

[eg420ne]

Dont you know that U.S. is playing the part of the bad guy and everyone else are the good guys...

[F L E S H]

That's why the US hated Saddam, he was giving good deals to others but not to them... jealous bastards!

Idiots...WE HAVE GOTTEN NO OIL FROM IRAQ..NOT ONE BARREL..NOT ONE DROP! SO STOP USING THAT ARGUMENT YOUR LIBERAL IDIOTS

thank you

[bhallg2k]

Idiots...WE HAVE GOTTEN NO OIL FROM IRAQ..NOT ONE BARREL..NOT ONE DROP! SO STOP USING THAT ARGUMENT YOUR LIBERAL IDIOTS

Quite right. Not one drop.

But didn't W. say that Iraqi oil would finance Iraqi reconstruction?

What ha-happened? Why we still payin'?

[beachguy in thongs]

Gas is going up, what, 75 cents monday???

[andruejaysin]

Not a drop of oil, but how much US taxpayer money? Doesn't really matter where the money comes from, as long as it ends up in the Dick's hands.

[pisshead]

we all know corruption doesn't exist...sounds like a conspiracy to me...

i've never said our military industrial complex are the only criminals...i've routinely said that mi5/mi6/fsb/mossad are equally as corrupt and in bed with each other.

they all use problem/reaction/solution to guide their countries towards dictatorship and more government control.

i'm not going to point the finger at everyone else when there's issues going on here at home.

[Psycho4Bud]

What happened? Foreign insurgents blowing up the lines. You know how much revenue has been lost due to these actions? If I recall there was a letter from Osama to Zarqawi that instructed him to go after the oil infustructure.

Shouldn't there have been a plan for that, being that it's so obvious those things would happen?

Oh, wait. W. doesn't plan for things.

Check this out once. It has all the different insurgent attacks and at the bottom has a map of Iraq with the lines. How do you protect every last mile of this??

[andruejaysin]

Obviously, you can't. Protecting pipelines in Iraq would be like protecting telephone lines in the US. The problem is the people behind the war never forsaw this happening, even though it is so obvious in hindsite, and to those of of not brainwashed to believe government propaganda, obvious in foresite. Do you don't see the dichotomy? Iraq has all these horrible weapons, and yet this will be easy? Both cannot be true, and of course neither was. Good thing too, imagine if they hadn't been lying, and all those weapons really existed. Where would they be now? Likely in the hands of Zarqawi (or however it's spelled) This talk of "democracy" is equally nonsense. The Iraqi elections came at the insistence of Sistani, over the objections of the US, who assumed their boy Chalabi would simply take over. Funny, they tell you one lie, get caught, tell another, and you fall for it again! Damn, if my girlfriend was that gullible, I'd be getting some pussy right now.

I don't think you can protect every last mile of pipeline. W should've been aware of that, too. There should have been proper planning, rather than giving everyone the rosy scenario that Iraqi oil would pay for Iraqi reconstruction.

Just further evidence that this administration is totally inept at any facet of government other than playing politics.

i seem to remember major combat operations would be over within a few weeks.


i guess bombing buildings with children and elderly women dont count as major...



oh...and the insurgents re-took a key city the other day....

[andruejaysin]

Strategy 101, figure out what it is your enemy wants, and prevent him from obtaining it.

[pisshead]

no, they never said 'mission accomplished'...they never said it was about weapons of mass destruction...

we had a no idea planes could hit buildings and that hurricanes could hit the gulf coast...

they're just so innocent and cute.

[pisshead]

the history channel is talking about 9/11, and they just said planes hitting that building was inconceivable at the time it was built...

the building was designed to take multiple jet impacts! the designers of it said so! they're just engineers though...

and they just gloss over rockefeller and his brother's business dealings to get the WTC complex up and running...and the port authority...

wow. that's not important...minor details.

Do a lil' research and then try acting intellegent! :D Just hate to see people make an ass out of themselves!

Hey gothhead. Just watched a show on Discovery on the WTC. Seems you have your head stuck up your candy ass. Why don't you research a lil' bit before posting bullshit? This building WAS NOT designed to take a hit like that do to the open floor plan!

[Psycho4Bud]

This thread WAS about the U.N. being a lil' dirty. Wonder how it got switched around to the usual "Military Industrial Complex" Bullshit!???

[WalkaWalka]

this war is not about money nothing done on the grandscale is ever about money in america becuase if the goverment wants money they just go to the federal reserve and they right a check the federal reserve does not have a checking account.This money comes from no where. The only reason the dollar is falling is becuase there is more and more of them being put into the economy. A bank is only required to have 10% of the money it loans out. This money comes from no where. The banks collect interest from the money its loans out this is interest on money they pulled from no where. Only a small percent of what the goverment spends come from taxes.
So right now federal reserve is rasing interest rates on the money they get from no where...to protect us. The banks are using this money to buy up positions of power presidencies,senators, congresmen,tv stations, filmakers,after school programs,non profit organizations, and tax exempt foundations.

Its never about money its about power

[pisshead]

i agree, the unconstitutional fed is a bigger threat to our freedom than maybe anything else...but people don't care...people don't care that our money is printed up out of thin air...it's a legalized counterfeit fiat currency.

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."
--Thomas Jefferson

they're buying up the world with their fake money, while deindustrializing us and knocking us down to 2nd world status...i guess that kooky jefferson was right.

Try waking up. You remind me a little of the punks in the joint. After awhile they started to fall in love with their rapists. It was a sad thing to watch, but they were happier that way. You're right, it is easier to live your life as a servile old dog, licking the boots of your oppressor for table scraps. But some of us could not do that. I glad you are happy being what you are, but go to bed tonight knowing I would have sold you for a pack of camels.

Good, very good, get angry. There is hope for you yet! Now you only need to understand who your enemies are. Roll up a fat joint. Well, go on, fire it up. You're doing great, we're almost there. They hate you, you pothead, they hate us all. And they'll hate you until the day you die. Have a nice day. :)

Wow, I expected better. Perhaps the kids you play dungeons and dragons with could help you next time. No, this is your secret place, where you can pretend to be a scary wizard, and no one laughs. Except that isn't true, not anymore. It's spelled "write", by the way.

To true psycho to true
But realy why are in Iraq becuase we got bad intelligence
If this is true our goverment is fucking incompetent
If this is true our cia needs to be abolished cuase its fucking incompetent
I thought that this was a capitalist goverment that would get rid of incompetent people.
Why do we get in these wars it is not our job but were getting pretty good at smashing pigme goverments like Iraq's
Truly Americas role should not be that of world police and what about all these countries we give money to to improve their standard of
living well the middle east still a shit hole.
And psycho persecuting people for their opinnions makes you look like a fucking jackass

[Psycho4Bud]

But realy why are in Iraq becuase we got bad intelligence

Bad intelligence...to bad we couldn't check over Syria! To bad the Russians and French won't talk.

If this is true our goverment is fucking incompetent

Well it's not true but I can relate to the attitude about Government.

If this is true our cia needs to be abolished cuase its fucking incompetent

I would say restructuring was in order.
I thought that this was a capitalist goverment that would get rid of incompetent people.

Thats why we vote!

Why do we get in these wars it is not our job but were getting pretty good at smashing pigme goverments like Iraq's

Ever hear of 9-11. Pretty interesting concept of how we can get hit if we're not on our toes. To bad the world isn't all roses.

Truly Americas role should not be that of world police and what about all these countries we give money to to improve their standard of
living well the middle east still a shit hole.

I agree, bout time some of these lazy bitches in Europe get off their ass and give a little relief! Exception being Great Britain.

And psycho persecuting people for their opinnions makes you look like a fucking jackass

AWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! And who was I persecuting...sniffle, sniffle. Poor thing...maybe you should send some kleenex!! :D

[andruejaysin]

So clever!!! Must be nice to spout shit behind a monitor. You bore me coward! :D
It's a game. Are you afraid to play? Say something clever. It's easy for most people, why not you? OK, not most people, but I had high hopes for you. Really, I did, why do you think you were chosen? Because you have potential.
