Tell Me Again How Great Halliburton/KBR Is

[rpm]

Wabbit you are being a fool. You want to turn this into an Amerihater arguement which won't work because I'm not one.

I just read the Broaddrick link. 2 completely different sets of circumstances.

This is about sexual assault, not politics. Again, you think KBR is such a great outfit why don't you get your daughter a job there?

And let the readers of this thread note, you refused to directly address either question.  

Q.E.D.

I read it RPM.  Just because the story is making an accusation against the company does not make it right for you to blame them too.  Kind of along the two wrongs making a right logic.

Either way, this whole thing smells bad.  I hope that the criminal investigation is completed before this thing is tried in the media.

So just to recap:

1.  You won't believe Juanita Broaddrick, even though I don't see any material difference is in their level of proof, and you haven't been able to enlighten me as why.  The only difference I see is that Juanita Broaddrick didn't try and go for the big "payoff" lawsuit which makes her story all the more credible to me.

2.  You would not assign blame by association to the Country these (alleged) men belonged to, because that would be obviously rediculous, but you gleefully try to attribute blame to a company of tens of thousands of employees who couldn't possibly have had any knowledge of any of this.  If indeed, anything illeagal took place.

The fact of the matter is you desparately "NEED" to believe this.  You WANT to believe this.  Dan Rather?  Forged documents?  There is a danger in WANTING to believe something so badly that your natural rational skepticism takes a holiday.

A final thing to consider, why isn't she directly sueing the men allegedly involved?  Even if they are judgement proof, there could be the moral satisfaction.  And there is no arbitration contract with them.  The way the Goldman family went after OJ in civil court.  Why did she skip over the men allegedly directly involved and go straight for the nearest deep pocket?

You are projecting what you believe to be my thoughts. You are incorrect.

You did get one part right...

An ad hominem argument, also known as argumentum ad hominem (Latin: "argument to the man", "argument against the man") consists of replying to an argument or factual claim by attacking or appealing to a characteristic or belief of the person making the argument or claim, rather than by addressing the substance of the argument or producing evidence against the claim.

But wait... in your eyes they are already guilty.

I'd work for KBR... I'd let my Daughters work for KBR also.  What is your ploy on "Would you let your Daughters work for KBR?".  Would you let your Daughters work for McDonalds? Burger King? or even in the Military? Green Peace?

What is your beef with KBR?

[rpm]

When did I say that? You guys keep trying to tell me what I said. This is what I said:

If during this investigation we discover a pattern to deceive and manipulate prejudical evidence I'd say we need to punish all involved harshly and swiftly.

What is my beef with KBR? I have several, but in this instance it's the apparent disregard of basic human rights of their employees. I think it deserves a further looking into.

And the disregard of employees basic human rights are.......?

No more hearsay... what are the documented proof, links, anything besides hearsay of rights being disregarded?

NO!!! You do have a beef with KBR and you stated several.... name them.

No spins.

Mac, I posted the link in the first post.

As for my beefs with KBR, no bid contracts, overcharging of services, endangering troops by providing unclean water.

Just because you drool all over Cheney does not mean KBR does no wrong.

LMAO
Boy have you dialed a wrong number. You would be hard pressed to find anything that Cheney has done for me to drool over.

Remember guys it is a REPUBLICAN  that is investigating this. You all act like Ted Kennedy is running things.

I believe you just said this was not political.
I could give a rat`s arse who is investigating it politicaly wise.
It`s the woman that`s making the accusations and changing her story as needed to fit the bill that stinks to high heaven.
Another Woe is me , now pay me scammer.
