Reply #131: I went and read your paper

[stop the bleeding]

I have learned more from that than probably everything else here at DU combined. Simply astounding...

I remember reading from Rawstory that Cheney profited something a Brazillion $$$ off of his stock from Halliburton.

Also even though the Nuclear WalMart has been shaken up - what are the possibilities that the Taliban and Al Queada are able to produce a weapon? I just saw a report on TV in the last 24 hrs questioning Osama's where abouts and it mentioned that he could be broke.

You speak of Dumsfeld and Darth Cheney always profiting from both sides of the fence.

Well let's look at Iraq.

The WHIG swore up and down they knew Saddam had WMD's in fact they knew where there were at ect..

Why were they so confident?

Your boy Khan's (the Pakistani Nuclear Father of the Bomb) program wasn't discovered until August 2003 as stated in your paper.

Plame was outed earlier in the year, and even earlier her Husband wrote the article but also at around the same time * declared end of combat, and as pointed out in another part of this thread I think there was a meeting between Ledeen or one of his cohorts and some Saudi's? if I remember correctly(I will go back and see if I can verify from this thread).

Anyway what does all of this have to do with Darth and Dumbsfeld making money off of Iraq. Well the first side is the obvious and that is the War profiteering that Halliburton has enjoyed from the no bid contracts. And as detailed in your paper Dumbsfeld is connected in that Web of companies with H'burton, it's contacts and investors.

What do you think about Peace Patriot's theory(I am assuming it his) that B/J Plame / David Kelley may have stumbled onto a plot to "plant" WMD's in Iraq. These WMD's could have been easily gathered from the Nuclear WalMart that you detailed especially given some of the direct contact that companies would have had to Iraq through either the general chaos of the place or the fact people could have been told to look the other way about shipments. This is the second side of the fence that Darth and Dumbsfeld would have made money on.

Think about it, "we know where Saddam's WMD's are they are in around Tikrit" according to Dumbsfeld.

Let's go start a war make money off of that, but even better let's make money off of reason's for going to war. Downright evil genius if you ask me.

But if it wasn't for that pesky CIA which BTW as you know has gone through quite "house cleaning" since Goss took over. Anyway this the same CIA Plame's B/J uncovers the planting of WMD's and coincidentally her husband laughs off the Niger Forgeries which was a stepping stone to getting into Iraq to find the WMD's that we knew were there. Also I was a bit unclear if the CIA investigation that uncovered Khan was related/part of B/J or was that a completely separate investigation?

Sorry to ramble on but I just had to kind of think out loud.

I will either edit this or reply to it for amendmended or added information.
