I'm not saying Clinton was in the middle of it...( but I bet he was) but that it happened during his 8 years of ignoring Saddams escapades.

I was personally saddened to see Daimler-Chrysler on the list of "bad boys" but somewhat bemused at the amount.

1. You claimed that we "elected the CEO to be POTUS". Dick Cheney is NOT the President of the United States. Perhaps you should pay more attention to these minor little details. 2. I never made any claim that Halliburton had a spotless record. Regardless, it does not make the UN any less guilty of rampant corruption and gross incompetence in managing the oil-for-food program. Mike

I already said that I was hardly shocked or surprised at any of this. Perhaps you, too, should pay more attention. Corporate corruption is nothing new, just as corruption in the UN is nothing new. Just because something is common does not mean that it is legal, ethical, or OK to do. Wrong is wrong, no matter how many people are doing it. If this kind of stuff is "OK" with you as a "common business practice", then I'd suggest you reconsider your values. Mike

2. No you never mentioned Halliburton, never expected you would. Because it's so much more fun to shout about the UN while ignoring our own hypocricy. No surpises you missed that point also. |

a. It's a very old, very tired joke already b. The crap that the UN is getting away with is no laughing matter. 2. I hardly missed your point about Halliburton either. You're just pointing out the obvious. It is common knowledge that they are far from being without "sin". It is also common knowledge that they are pretty much the ONLY company on this planet that is even remotely capable of actually doing the enormous variety of jobs that they do--on a far more enormous scale than most people can even visualize--for our military and our nation. The company's services are necessary for us right now, and they serve our purposes. The UN is not necessary, and does not serve our purposes. Like I said... Halliburton's problems, nor your dislike of Cheney/Bush/whomever, doesn't absolve the UN of its many sins. You're starting to sound like bonehead, with his "Yeah, but what about Bill Clinton? He did this and that" distraction tactics. Mike

Ironic how the WMD evidence is called "lies" yet every intelligence service in the world supported the claim. Yet the "oil for food", (of which several prominent anti-war folks like MP Galloway profited and used their political power to oppose Hussein's overthrow) is passed off as "oh yeah, Halliburton did it too" when ample evidence proves that there was corruption at the very tops of the governments most opposed to Saddam's removal. Especially in the light of Halliburton being cleared of wrongdoing by a 3rd party audit. But hey "UN lied, People Died!"
