Of course it is all about OIL.. anyone who thinks different is just not paying attention.
Valero Petroleum ( a troubled Texas Company) owns the refineries that can only process Iraq oil crude. They have been pestering the Bush Administration for financial help since they cannot get a reliable feedstock supply. The top honchos at Valero are buddy-buddy with GW , the Vice President and the Secretary of Defense. Their offices are physically located across the street from ENRON (hmmmm?) The Bush administration's Propaganda machine is alive and well, and is working to make everyone believe that if you are not with them on this War thing, then you must be a pinko liberal democrat. The same goes for his promises to his supporters, and that is to reduce the tax burden on his oil patch buddies as well. Tax breaks for those companies are not really needed IMHO because most of them have finagled their financials to show continued losses, and therefore do not pay income taxes. They are looking for relief from the taxes they do pay, all the while they certainly take care of their executives, don't they? Maybe some would wake up if those huge Chapter 11 bankruptcies would convert to Chapter 7 liquidation, huh? If the Airlines were allowed by rules to cancel flights that were below 80% capacity, there would be no need for imported petroleum, as they burn more jet fuel that just about the rest of country combined. ===================================== Douglas White group Manager mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.samcfug.org ===================================== | | ----- Original Message ----- | From: "Angel Stewart" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Sent: Monday, January 13, 2003 9:19 AM | Subject: RE: [www.washtimes.com] What do u think? | | | > BS. | > :) | > | > The US just wants to go to war with Iraq. | > They're looking for all sorts of excuses. | > Whether the weapons inspectors find anything or not, | > the US will claim that IT'S intelligence says that there are weapons. | > (Although the US can't SHARE this intelligence with the weapons | > inspectors | > For them to verify...) | > | > To me, the whole thing is so very contrived it's sickening. | > | > And US Interests have worked the Media Propaganda machine up nicely, | > Running several shows about the 'life of Saddam', but not going into | > much | > Detail about how/why the US helped him against Iran. | > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
