3. We should watch and take notes and then write and call our
senators and representatives with specific follow-up questions - should scare Hell out of them to see folks paying such close attention to what is going on.

11. I'll Lay Hard Money...
... that Halliburton's RIO II and LOGCAP III contracts come up, with testimony from conscience-stricken insiders who have the documentation to back up their claims of forgery, fraud, bribery, "diversion of funds," and graft:

16. RIO II FAQ and Timeline (Note ***When*** Halliburton Was Tapped to "Restore Iraqi Oil")
http://www.hq.usace.army.mil/cepa/iraq/faq.htm

My favorite Q & A:

"What contract did RIO use to start carrying out its mission?

A. An existing Army Field Support Command Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP) contract, competitively bid, was used to prepare contingency plans for the government. The contract was awarded to Brown & Root Services (later to be known as Kellogg, Brown and Root) of Houston on December 14, 2001."

December 2001. "Contingency plans" were being drawn up by Halliburton to start carrying out the mission of restoring Iraqi oil (RIO), in December 2001.

March 2003 was when we invaded, for those keeping track of just how much real effort was put into diplomacy.

(As a side note, see the graphic at the top left; the civilian hardhat has a Halliburton logo.)

17. Damn
Over two years before we invaded?
That looks like evidence for a war crimes tribunal.A premeditated war of aggression to steal oil.Along with our treasury and whatever else they could get their hands on.
Damn.

19. "We're Going to War"
Edited on Thu Feb-01-07 11:32 PM by CorpGovActivist
That was the refrain in the hallways of Halliburton/KBR, more than a year before March 03.

- Dave

P.S. Somewhere, defense contractors already know if Iran is "a go."

22. I sure hope other whisleblowers
come forward now rather than later.Later will be too late.
If we invade Iran I can totally see thge rest of the world deciding to gang up on us to put us in our place.
No one country could beat us in a war but if enough got together we will be in a world of hurt.
Not to mention the economic sanctions they could place on us.We would be reduced to third world conditions in only a few years.

The bushco motherfuckers gotta go.Right now.If not sooner.

25. We use tactical nukes
someone will respond with strategic nukes.

You know that CBS show Jerico?I am beginning to wonder if that show is a thinly vieled heads up to start preparing.On their website there is a series of webesodes that deal with what to get to survive a nuke war.

Damn damnn damn.
I'm getting way to paranoid these days.And I am getting tired of feeling that way.

Bushco gotta go!

27. I signed up for FlightAware alerts
on one of their corporate jets back in the fall.
In the last week I have recieved more alerts on this aircraft movements then during the whole time proceeding this week.
I wonder if it is related to the upcoming hearings.

32. How Long Can They Keep The Truth From The American People?
.... given all the cracks in the dam, it appears it is just a matter of time.

So if you were Bush and you knew all this was going to spill out and you would be exposed to the American People, wouldn't you try to create a 'new reality' by starting another war which would take the focus off the coming revelations?

Good to see you posting again Dave! Hope you are feeling better.
