So you ADMIT that they got no-bid contracts - the truth will set you free.

QuoteQuoteWhat is your argument against women in combat units? After all if a woman can make it through US Marine training and become a US Marine why shouldn't she serve alongside the men she has managed to equal?
I have experienced military life but never in combat, from what I understand from others who have: Mixing the genders in combat creates tension and disruption in foxholes.
Maybe if there were women only units?
I just spun this off into another thread.

QuoteThe annihlation through means of overwhelming bombing has worked in the anals of history.
Just looked at how it helped Japan.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Yup, all the fussing and fighting is straight up our buttholes.
It's really too bad we are such combative creatures.
But since we are, bomb the shit out of em (back to buttholes)...

Disingenuous score 10.0, as usual for you.
I never said they didn't get a no-bid contract, I (correctly) refuted akarunway's claim that Haliburton got a no-bid contract to rebuild. That contract was WON by BECHTEL after a bidding process.Mike

I think you need to go back and re-read what he ACTUALLY wrote and what he was ACTUALLY responding to. Hint - it was a hypothetical future event....

It could be construed that way... and also as the commonly-held fallacy that "Bush gave Haliburton the no bid contract".Mike

Agreed. And it was known before the first shot was fired that contracts would be awarded that would substantially enrich those companies. Although I doubt that it was the primary motivator for the invasion, I think it was considered a "bonus" at the very minimum. War = method to channel tax dollars straight to big corporations, and during record deficit spending at that. Is there an easier method to grease the wheels that wouldn't come under substantially more scrutiny? And the Democrats can't bitch that much because a lot of the money is going to build schools, modernize infrastructure, and help needy people (nevermind the fact that it was us who made many of them so needy). Rock, meet hard place.

The US government under the Bush administrtion has given no-bid contracts in Iraq to both Halliburton and Bechtel. It is, therefore, reasonable to hypothesize that it might happen again under this administration. Simple, really....

So...should Haliburton keep getting no-bids in Kosovo/Bosnia, then...since they did under Clinton?Mike

QuoteYou're soo naughty - Please stand to attention when you talk about our Queen (Ma'm God bless her little cotton socks).
I will offer the same kind of treatment you want to offer our pres. It will be fair. Your f'ing queen is just taking up much space and air that could be used in a more productive manner.

Instead being objective (treating everyone the same way) you want to act subjectively? You don't need to feel sorry for me, is the other way around!, your trust and reverence of the so called royalty should be a concern to people who believe in democracy. Go on being a subject....and good luck.
Lets be fair and treat both of them the same. Let's get her with dubya and go with your original plans....

Hi Ya,
You can't treat them the same - they are different people with way different personalities.
B.T.W I'm no Royalist but the Queen has done nothing to that upsets me personally, so I have no problem with her and her job continuing.

Again, you missed the objectivity on our discussion, you are ok to blow to pieces US govt leader, and now expect that people respect your fucking useless queen? Is that where we are at? Time out and make exceptions when it is one of the UK leaders we talk about?
Ok gotcha is the US Bash fest. Thanks for "enlightening" us.

You miss the point .... I DONT expect anyone to do anything. Respect is earned and GWB has done nothing (in fact far from it) to earn my respect (I'm sure that he's deeply concerned about that too).
Have a good one.

And your queen has to earn hers. She has had 54 years to do so, and has failed to do it!!!!.
Great family she has managed to raise.
You too have a great one, and blue skies.

QuoteQuoteQuoteQuoteAnd Halliburton get the whole damn(unbid) contract to rebuild the place(s) we(the USA) wiped out eh? Damn capitalism is so coolQuote
Please, by all means, you go fix it ok?
Is that the ONLY alternative to a NO BID CONTRACT?
John merely from an engineering standpoint, there are few companies in this world of sufficient size and experience to handle jobs of this magnitude.
Do a search and you will see the list of the qualified companies is not very long.
It's longer than just Halliburton.
I guess no-bids are fine, so long as it's from the Dems, hm?
What part of they have connections all the way to the top don't you understand?I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.
