An urgent message from GWBush.com:
While Dick Cheney was its CEO, Halliburton sold more technology to Saddam Hussein than any other U.S. corporation. From 1998 to 2001, at least two Halliburton subsidiaries sold Iraq $23.8 million worth of oil industry parts and equipment. These deals were arranged by Halliburton and routed through subsidiaries to avoid political exposure. More than any other U.S. company, Cheney's Halliburton helped Iraq restore its ability to earn the money to develop weapons of mass destruction. Hard to believe? Maybe this article from the Financial Times of London will convince you: http://financialtimes.emailthis.clickability.com/et/emailThis?clickMap=viewThis&etMailToID=410961153 How does Cheney explain this lapse of judgment? He doesn't. Instead he lies about it. Here's an excerpt from ABC's "This Week" with Sam Donaldson from August, 2000: Donaldson: I'm told, and correct me if I'm wrong, that Halliburton, through subsidiaries, was actually trying to do business in Iraq? Cheney: No. No. I had a firm policy that I wouldn't do anything in Iraq - even arrangements that were supposedly legal. I guess ABC doesn't have much of a budget for research, because Sam Donaldson failed to cite any sources or documents to challenge Cheney. (Who was it who "told" Sam about the deal? A cab driver? The janitor? Didn't ABC have documents or other sources? The deals, after all, were public and had to be cleared by an international sanctions committee.) Can't you still hear the press crying "Liar Liar" at Al Gore every time he got some irrelevant detail wrong? Here Cheney tells a blatant lie about a matter of national security--and gets away with it. So much for the Liberal Media! Incredibly, Cheney recently had the gall to support a ridiculous GOP ad accusing Tom Daschle of supporting Saddam Hussein. As Bush's approval ratings sag we get closer to another war with Iraq. What is the reason for this next war: to protect national security or just to get Bush back up in the polls? If Iraq is really such a threat, then why did Cheney supply it with crucial technology? We can't rely on the media to tell this story. But here are three things you can do to get the information out: 1) Please forward this email to as many people as you can. 2) Email Tom Daschle's office and tell him it's time to take the gloves off and start hitting back. http://daschle.senate.gov/webform.html 3) Help out with the GWBush.com radio ad project. GWBush.com is producing a professional radio ad with the facts about Cheney's support for Iraq. We've found a cheap way to do this ($500 or so). Once produced, this ad can be forwarded around the Web as a sound file and perhaps if it's a hit we can raise funds to get it on the air during the 2002 and 2004 campaigns. Help us write the ad! We could also use some small donations to get it made. Email us to get involved: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In times like these, when the press won't do its job and the Democrats have their heads in the sand, it's up to regular citizens to get the truth out. Thank God we now have the Internet to help us do that! Sincerely, Zack GWBush.com PS: Please pay a visit to the GWBush.com sticker and t-shirt store.
