Yup...we're in Afghanistan because of terrorism.

I wonder how much chimpy and Unka Dick Cheney will pocket from this deal?

ASHGABAT, Turkmenistan: Dec 28 (PNS)

 Pakistan, Afghanistan and Turkmenistan on Friday signed here a framework agreement for a US $ 3.2 billion gas pipeline project passing through the three countries.


The ceremony was held at the Presidential Palace with the three leaders, Prime Minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali, President Saparmurat Niyazov of Turkmenistan and Afghan President Hamid Karzai signing the document.


The framework agreement defines legal mechanism for setting up a consortium to build and operate the pipeline.


According to a study by Asian Development Bank (ADB), the 1460 km pipeline would use gas reserves at Dauletabad fields in Turkmenistan, which has world's fifth largest reserves, while passing through Afghanistan into Pakistan.


The three countries had earlier signed a trilateral agreement to develop a natural gas and oil pipeline from Turkmenistan through Afghanistan into Pakistan in May this year, during the first trilateral summit in Islamabad.

Gotta agree with you on this weazel, if bush was really after the 911 terrorists and their infrastructure he should have attacked the Buddhist terror training camps in the Norway...

Osama who?

"The most important thing is for us to find Osama Bin Laden.

It is our number one priority, and we will not rest until we find him."

"I don't know where he is.

I have no idea and I really don't care.

It's not that important.

It's not our priority."

Guess which US company is the prime benefactor of the new pipeline?

Can you say Halliburton boys and girls?

War on terrorism my ass.

[Wlfgng]

sigh.. and this will give people/terrorists/whomever a great target of attack.

damned politicians.

what's it gonna' cost to 'protect' ?

[whgates3]

after cheney droped as CEO, i figured it would be too over the top for then to making any more big $ from ties to the white house & that maybe the white house no long had an interest in HAL (except eagleburger on the halliburton board)...halliburton was threatening to go capter 11 over their asbestos BS, so i sold my HAL stock...ah what the ƒu€k, i made some $ on it...just feel like a moron not being able to read those guys better & falling for the same trix over & over again

"It seems more apparent with each passing day that American foreign policy is being run
by the Wizard of Oz, hidden behind the curtain using smoke and mirrors, and anything
that comes to mind, in articulating its position and place in the world. It is high time that
American citizens pull back the curtain like Toto, to uncover what is really going on."

I response to this quote allow me to appropriate a popular word here and demostrate the insulting nature implied in the use of said word:

Is a conspiracy!

[Gunthr]

Can you explain these two quotes Grun?
Osama who?

I can think of one good explanation: Priorities changed.

You would be shooting yourself in the foot if you required a President to keep priorities set in stone - week after week - month after month - regardless of real time events or changing realities.

[weazel]

Can't spin the two Bush quotes in a good light so you focus on my new sig?



Two key words in my sig don't apply to you....."American citizens"

You going to argue my post or continue to spew the party line?

I can read that kind of drivel at Faux News.

Yup, chimpy secured the pipeline deal in Afghanistan for Halliburton...off to the next bunch of evildoers with oil....how convenient.

Are you saying that the US government isn't losing transparency?

[lord dolf vader]

its a sad day.

It must really suck to get all worked up over stuff like this.

Forget it Weazel. There is nothing you can do to change the situation. War is coming to Iraq and North Korea, no matter how anxiously you are twisting your hands.

Relax, get a beer, put on some good music and try to stop being so angry/afraid.

I suggest The pearl fishers duet by Bizet, preferably the one with Jussi Bjorling and Robert Merill from 1940something (at least I think its from 1940something).

Things could be worse. Seriously.

Ann Coulter on the Middle East:

"...invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity."

Excuse me if I don't take your advice seriously.

Fine, its your blood pressure. You should pick your fights more cleverly though. Because this one you cant win. You have the US president against you, together with the majority of the public opinion in the US. People want war against Iraq...or at least they want Saddam removed from power and his B&C weapons destroyed...too bad huh

As for Miss Coulter
You know Weazel, two weeks after she made that statement, the first two points had become official US policy. As for the third point about converting them to Christianity, at least the ex moslem women would not have to fear stoning anymore...and I suspect we would see a sudden rise in quality of human rights in those countries too. But nah, best let them keep their "send in the suicide bombers to butcher all the infidels"-religion. After all, thats the PC thing to do.
