...give me a "C", give me an "o", give me an "r", give me another "r", give me a "u", give me a "p", give me a "t - i - o - n". What does that spell?

Bush.

Wonder how many of these groups met with Dick Cheney during his "energy meetings"?

Way to go, Bush Admirer. Whenever we conservatives don't want to face the truth, we can always just sit there and yawn. Great job!

I'm intersted in the education contracts. Does anyone know anything about Creative Associates International? Also a British company Serco - they run all the schools in Bradford, UK, and have a lot of interests in the Middle East - they banned students in Bradford from using school facilities to produce their thoughts on the war - Sam Jackson (sjackson@bradford.ac.uk)

Or no data in documents
Attention

Hi. We're throwing darts at the board and hoping one day something might stick.

What's up?

Might as well be American and Coalition Countries to handle the reconstruction work, they paid the price up front in blood and $$. Unlike FRance which would rather give Saddam Blow Job and Ass Reaming. It will also put a lot of Iraqis back to work.

Serco also runs Britain's nuclear weapons research and development facility, Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) Aldermaston and you can find out more about them and the New Generation nuke factory they're building at Aldermaston on the AWPC (Aldermaston Women's Peace Campaign) website - haven't got the address to hand but type in AWPC and Aldermaston or Falcongate and it should pop up. Serco's AGM is coming up so might be worth getting hold of a share if you want to go along and ask them some questions about their behaviour in Bradford's schools.

For those who think the contracts issue is a sideline, why? Surely it's clear that, with the mobile phone contracts tendered out before the war even started, there's an issue over corporations which have an influence in the government and have a huge profit to make out of the war being somewhat undemocratic.

I was there when the war started as an independent observer and saw what the war meant for countless Iraqis,. Those I spoke to openly said they wanted rid of Saddam but wanted to do it themselves, and didn't want invading by the US. After I left, some Belgian doctors I met there, who were working in the hospitals, e mailed to say while the troops were protected oil fields and the Oil Ministry, they not only stood by while the hospital was looted but even shot at civilian ambulances going to and from the hospital, in one case hitting an already injured patient with a further bullet in the chest.

That and the contracts point to the same thing and it isn't liberation of the Iraqi people.

Jo

We are environmental consultants with 20 years experience and based in India. I am interested in participating in the iraq reconstruction contracts. Is somebody looking for offloading such works?

Why is a plausible link between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda invisible to the same people who can quickly connect the dots between the president and a worldwide conspiracy of oil and defense interests?

Why are you such an oblivious buffoon?

looks like Im the favourite person for our leftist name faker at the moment. I will take that a a compliment.
However easy way to distinguish.. he tends to write one line personal insults totally off topic.. I write multi line detailed responses to previous posts.

It's called MOCKERY, you imbecile.

Then Mockery is a sincere form of compliment.
Because why would you mock me unless you considered that i was a worthy person to mock.
If I was a human joke, like yourself, there would be no point in mocking me.

You ARE a human joke, you reprobate.

It is a great list of contract. However, It does not provide the name of contact where a person can file their name for future commercial project in Iraq - Such as - Sugar Mill, Steel Plant, Cement Industry or many more different industry . If Some one can response to my question, please e-mail me at Goravllc@yahoo.com.. Looking forward to hear the contact name of a person.

Procurement contracts are available thru the the vendor Notification Service.

Since compiling the initial list of reconstruction contracts in Iraq, we have received inquiries on how to find information on job and business opportunities in Iraq. A common complaint is how difficult it is to find out where to start. Unfortunately, the US Govt has not made it as simple as they could have by posting all of the relevant information on one web site. Small businesses unfamilliar with navigating the bidding process are at a disadvantage when contracts are bundled.

As a courtesy for those looking, below is a list of some of the links that might prove helpful for researching information. Visit the websites for more details before calling or sending an email. Please be sure to read all of the related regulations, restrictions and requirements posted at these sites.

Most "lefties" have jobs. In fact, I bet a higher percentage of "lefties" are employed than are "righties." For example, among the "lefties", more women are in the workforce than among the "righties."

That aside, why the hell would a lefty want to work for a corporation occupying a foreign country? I realize that rightwingers are essentially whores willing to do ANYTHING for money. Most lefties are not whores.

Got anything to back those assertions up?

The voices in your head don't count.

...reconstructing their own country,and being in charge of contract awarding?

Excerpt from USACE: The total NTE amount for the March 8 Implementation Contract is, as of 13 June 2003, $213,786,000. The TO amounts may incrementally increase or decrease. For example: if not all the money put against TO3, for example, is needed and the cost rises for TO5, the extra money in TO3 may be shifted. Even the NTE amount may change if work is increased or if additional funding is provided.

Bought 200shares about a year back, right after they lost their asbestos lawsuit. Their stock price dropped like a stone from $26 to $8 (I got in at $10).

It's trading at $25 now. Wish I'd have bought 10,000 shares.

The irony is your own tax dollars are paying to keep Halliburton a float. (Unless of course you also maintain offshore accounts to avoid paying taxes) So while you may be making money with your Halliburton stock, those profits are being generated by your own taxes.

You just jealous because YOUR tax dollars are going in MY pocket?

I'm sooooooooo sorry.

NOT!

Eric,
These people here don't pay taxes. Most of them are unemployed or work menial jobs, the rest are too righteous to pay taxes. Remember, they are (self-)important warriors, about to overturn the country you and I love. They aren't about to fund their enemy.

I'm sure than most of them haven't filed a 1040 in decades, if ever. Sad really, that America's greatest strength, is also it's greatest weakness. The machine requires much green grease to function, and can only do so as long as those such as myself (the taxpayer) continue to believe enough in her to provide the lube. But I would give half of every penny I might ever earn to her if it was deemed necessary. Freedom means more to me than life itself. Certainly more than cash...

I like to go on this board and tell everyone how I dont mind paying taxes (even if I have to work the first 5 months of the year for free).
If there were a Democrat in office though, I would be fucking pissed!!!
But hell, i dont mind if my money goes to finance some oil war and keep the rich fatcats wealthy.
If they think they can pull a fast one though,
and use the money for Americans (like welfare, schools, government programs etc) they are fucking crazy!!!!!
I only want my taxes to go for warfare and killing!!!

No problem Eric. 54 cents of every one of your tax dollars now goes to the Pentagon.

Bush is requesting billions of dollars to rebuild Iraq, while America is falling deeper & deeper in to debt. He should worry about hi problems closer to home before he goes out and try's to make the world a "better place".
