Uhh...this part doesn't make much sense: "And while the US Navy was steaming around the Gulf trying to stop the oil smugglers, guess who was buying all that Iraqi oil? According to an article by Rick Jurgens of the Contra Costa Times, ChevronTexaco Corp. grabbed at least 41 million barrels. American companies bought a third of Iraq's oil, processed it and then sold it to the Navy ships trying to stop the smugglers. The truth is, everyone was getting paid one way or another and nobody wanted it to stop or fix it. It was good for everyone involved. Except the dead crewmen. It was pretty bad for them. "
So America pays the naval vessels to capture the oil...to have American companies buy the oil....to sell it back to the Navy ships...to do what? That doesn't make sense. In short..the story seems to be BS. -Gel -----Original Message----- From: Cantrell, Adam [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Interesting little read - http://exile.ru/168/168010100.html Still not about the oil though ;) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
