Subject: RE: [Orb] off topic WAR "Are you truly living in a wonderland? This war has been waged under several banners including the need to rid the world of terrorism. Or was it regime change???? Or was it??? The true reason is economics and megalomania." You said it, ECONOMICS. Check this out, Halliburton, the company that Dick Cheney was CEO of until 2000, has been awarded a contract worth close to 1 BILLION dollars to put out fires in Iraq. Additionally, in December 2001, Halliburton was awarded a 10-year contract from the Pentagon for work to be done in Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Jordan, and other countries. While Cheney had to divest his stock in the company after being appointed Vice President of the USA, he *still* receives 1 MILLION goddam dollars per year in compensation from them. Compensation for what? http://www.fool.com/News/mft/2003/mft03032502.htm _______________________________________________ Orb mailing list Orb@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/orb
