Thanks for your statement. I agree and am hopeful that others will begin to understand.

And you are quite right: Halliburton is an oil-services company, as well as construction.

What I love about this thread is all the different conversation's taking place...

Greetings Go Dub Go, FReepers, et al:
There are many countries on this planet with regimes just as horrific as Saddam Hussein's.
Really! Care to present a specific example for debate?
Should we also invade those countries to free their children from brutal regimes?
So, what do you suggest as a reasonable way to deal with an unreasonable Saddam Hussein?

I miss Illstillbe..

I wasn't here when you were posting earlier but I want to say a very humble Thank you! for your service to our country. God bless you and keep you!

And please join our fellowship as often as you can.

[kayak]

*sniff* ..... me, too!

One other thing I would like to rant about ......

Did the President invade and attack Iraq and I slept through it?

I hear so many people saying that it's wrong to attack without presenting the evidence first. Well, since we haven't started shooting yet, where's the problem?

IF we start bombing or marching on Baghdad tonight, then I can understand where some people might have a legitimate gripe (though I personally disagree with them). But I have observed our President for over two years now. He does the right thing at the right time. I have full confidence that by the time a battle is waged there will be more than enough convincing evidence to support such action and only those nimwits who would be critical if he said that the sky is blue would still be objecting.

In the meantime, why "blame" him for something he hasn't done yet???

Btw, that is a rhetorical question. I know the answer already.

Night kay...time to call it a day.

I started to post the same thing about Halliburton this morning, but got to thinking that anybody with even the smallest knowledge of the oil industry would know this right off the bat. That's why the claims against Cheney in 2000 were so bogus. Halliburton is not Exxon, Texaco, or Chevron. It doesn't do the production. But liberals, and people who are too blind to see reality just lump them in there so they can imply sinister motives that are baseless.

Hey, Dog! Night, Dog!

OBTW: I consider the hydrogen fueled car thingy another bit of strategery. He's throwing a bone to the environmentalist whackos while he concentrates on more important things. Otherwise, I'd agree with Willie Greene. ;^)

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

What's up, me lassie?

I'd say "me laddo", but even Rimmer could tell the difference between a boy and a girl. ;^)

[Miss Marple]

Well, I don't know enough about it to comment on the feasibility. However, my democrat sister told me today that she thinks this is a great idea, because it will give us clean air and energy independence.

Since she rarely likes anything from President Bush, I am willing to support a boondoggle, if that is what a hydrogen car is, just to keep some folks happy and QUIET! LOL!

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

If it keeps the Algore clones off his back while he does his job, and maybe garners a few votes, it's worth the headache.

PS: What'd you think of my other strategery analysis on the AIDS in Africa thing?

[kayak]

Bush is not the type of man to say something simply because it might impress some people ..... and he's a very practical, down-to-earth sort of guy ...... with a Master's degree in business.

If he thinks a hydrogen-powered car is feasible then it just may be. And if they could be produced at a reasonable price and reduce our dependency on oil then I think it would be just grand.

What I don't understand is how people can hear him make a proposal like that specifically mentioning the concept of using less oil and then say that he is in the pockets of Big Oil and is looking our for the interests of his cronies. If his only concern was taking care of his buddies, wouldn't proposing a car that doesn't use petroleum for fuel be the last thing he would do?

[Utah Girl]

Those hybrid cars are ugly. Someone at work here drives one of those Honda hybrids. Really small and really ugly...

[Utah Girl]

Rimmer! I miss watching 'Red Dwarf' every Saturday night. At home, the PBS stations runs RD every Saturday night.

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

You're luckier than I am. The local PBS has dropped it. They only use it now for fundraisers, which means that unless BBC-America decides to bring it back, I'm Red Dwarf deprived. :(

I just received an email from my best friend. Her husband was in Monterrey learning Russia, and was having a hard time learning it. He's a golden boy, everything has always come to him easily, but Russian didn't. He could write it and translate, but he didn't have the ear to speak it. So he came home last week, and was sent overseas on Monday with the rest of his unit for a year. With the option that they may be gone for another year. She is facing the potential of having her husband gone for 2 1/2 years...she is proud of him, but he is quite a bit older than she is (he's in his early fifties.) He loves being in the Army and I'm glad there are many good men who are willing to go to war for us. It is still hard.

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

Oh smeg. From what I understand, Russian is not one of the easier languages to get a grasp on. Tis a pity, because I've always wanted to learn it.
