Someone else posted this somewhere:

Harper's Magazine

Cool War: Economic sanctions as a weapon of mass destruction

By Joy Gordon.

"Since the U.N. adopted economic sanctions in 1945, in its charter, as a means of maintaining global order, it has used them fourteen times (twelve times since 1990). But only those sanctions imposed on Iraq have been comprehensive, meaning that virtually every aspect of the country's imports and exports is controlled, which is particularly damaging to a country recovering from war. Since the program began, an estimated 500,000 Iraqi children under the age of five have died as a result of the sanctions -- almost three times as many as the number of Japanese killed during the U.S. atomic bomb attacks."

Gee Puke, think if Saddam had used his vast sources of wealth from pillaging Iraq, to feed those children.  Children were starving while Saddam built more palaces.  Sanctions my ass... are you really that gullible?  If Sddam gave one toejam about the supposed 500k dead, he'd have fed them.

Steve you mistook that, that excerpt shows how the UN's sanctions have killed of half a million Iraqi children and growing.

If the UN would be allowed to continue to impose these sanctions, the number would keep growing.

Hopefully when all is said and done, with hopefully a minimal loss of Iraqi civilian life (none if possible), no more children will have to die due to UN sanctions because there will no longer be a need with the current regime out of power.

Right wing Neo-Nazis like Limbaugh, O'Reilly, and Tim Russert always talk about how the rich deserve to be rich because they work so hard.

Sure, that's gotta be true in some cases, but in many cases in just good old f*cking crime and greed.

Boots and Coots is part of Halliburton and the B.F.E.E..

Within the last year, their stock sold for as little as 6 cents a share.

Proof
 
Now that Spurious George is dragging us into a war that nobody wants, and since our military is going to follow orders, Iraq's oil fields will soon be blazing....or at least enough of them so Boots and Coots can submit a trillion dollar repair bill to rape the American taxpayers.

This money will then be split amongst the B.F.E.E.

But they're smart enough to make money more than once.

Before the close of the market today, shares of Boots and Coots were going for $2.35 per share.
 
So if you're involved in the B.F.E.E., and you KNEW Bush was going to invade Iraq no matter what the circumstances and no matter what Russia, China, France,Germany, or the U.N. said, you could've bought a million dollars worth of stock a year ago at 6 cents and if you cashed in today, according to my calculator, you would have $40,000,000 now.

Bush and his crooked evil friends will make FORTY TIMES their money by knowing the fix was in and the only cost will be a few hundred or a few thousand American soldiers.

Doesn't anybody give a f*ck?

The fix is in, our men will die and Bush's millionaire friends are now billionaires.

whoopee, I am pissed off about this.

Isn't anyone else pissed about this?

Bush's co-felons are making 40 times their money on this fake war and Boots & Coots haven't even presented their fake trillion dollar repair bill to your grandchildren yet.

Nice conspiracy theory, but the stock did not hit .06 until October.  It was 600% higher than that a year ago.

The stock fluctuations couldn't be related to the B.F.E.E. manipulating it could it?

Nah...Couldn't Be.

According to http://biz.yahoo.com/p/_energy-oilsrv.html Boots and Coots, (Symbol WEL) and Halliburton(Symbol WEL) are competitors.  

Of course, Yahoo, Boots & Coots, Halliburton, and several hundred other companies in the financial, energy and defense sectors are all tied into the Bush Family Conspiracy through the Skull and Bones Society at Yale.

So the post earlier about buying the stock a year ago with knowledge of the war doesn't apply anymore, now it's stock price manipulation?

Aww roadkill.  you people really believe that?  You read something in print so it MUST be true?  Why is Saddam so well fed if there is no food in his country?  Why was he building palaces with the county's money instead of buyin food?  Are you guys really that obtuse? Do you think Saddam said,"  Oh gosh, no one will sell me food so I will spend 4 billion on a palace."  You guys are clowns if you really believe that tripe.

Odd. When weazel says something, complete with links, albeit it being suggested rather than proved, the answer is 'he's an idiot'.

When cabby or someone like him does the same, minus supporting evidence, the response is 'HELL YEAH, GAWDAMN EVIL LIBERALS!'.

Inconsistent use of cognitive capacity and and critical judgment.

Wait. It isn't odd at all :)
