Very true. why, if it weren't for the Bush administration taking the lead in this situation, we wouldn't even be in this tunnel, let alone squinting ahead to see a little light. what wonderful progress we've made.

Taking action is always riskier than sitting on yer bellybutton and playing with cigars. More rewarding too.

There IS an end to the tunnel. If there is a train between here and there we'll just have to push it aside.

What if there is a mirror in the tunnel which is simply reflecting back the entrance?

Will we have to retrace our steps?

You make it sound like Halliburton is some evil greedy entity that is controlling the US government. There is a well established and closely guarded bidding process which Halliburton won fairly for much of the reconstruction being done in Iraq. It is the American way.

Halliburton employs something like 85,000 Americans. Sure, some of them are greedy and have no respect for the law, just like in every other company or any sampling taken from the street.

Shovels! Well don't come crying to me, when you fall down a big hole with a Balrog biting your arse. You need a big shiny elven sword, mate, not a bloody shovel!

No use whining that you should have taken the pass of Caradras once you're plunging to your doom with only a shovel for protection. No sir.

Tunnels. Dangerous things, tunnels.

If the train comes down the tunnel and hits Ravs, but no-one sees or hears it, is the gunk remaining on the tracks, and immediate surroundings his...or just a metaphysical representation of him?

would you have a link for that? any info on what the competing bids where from other (losing) companies?

as to how fairly they competed? our VP was their CEO up until 2000 (funny how whitehouse.gov missed this info in his bio), and is still a major share-holder.
