"There's no denying that this is an oil administration, you can't talk about the career of any George Bush -- father or son -- without talking about oil." - Peter Eisner

The above link provides an interesting series of charts showing how Americans are NOT better off... and I, like a lot of other people, am not happy about the high cost of gas at the pump or the cost of propane, which has trippled its price (in our area and necessary) since 9/11.

I, like others, was caught up in the tragedy of 9/11 and, like the World, stood behind George Bush when he went after his family friend's son [fact, look it up], Osama.

What 'pains me' is, I did this without anybody presenting evidence 'Osama did it' and accepted what I was told by my leaders without question; besides, who WMD would NUK LER ever POISON GAS believe RAPE we TOTRURE could WMD be KILLERS led WMD astray TRIGGER by NUCLEAR CLOUD those WMD elected MISSLES by/for ANTHRAX trust WMD ?

I was brought up to believe "innocent until proven guilty" ...but hey, according to the newspapers recently, evidence gets planted and modified by the ones, one would trust sometimes, so....I'm still scratching my head over that.

What turned me into a skeptic, despite I would rather not believe my government was complicit, was a growing consensus 9/11 may have been an inside job.

One of the most troubling aspects is, why George W. Bush and his Republican administration resisted an official investigation of 9/11 for 18 months while Democrats stood by and did very little or nothing to challenge this horrendous action.

If 9/11 was an inside job, 'we need to get the fox out of the chicken house' immediately, before any more damage is done, and this involves the 'I Word' (impeachment). ...He did sort of mention 'another attack' during his April 28, 2005 Press Conference.

Shortly after Desert Storm, the Associated Press reported Cheney's desire to broaden the United States' military role in the region to hedge future threats to gulf oil resources. Cheney is CEO of Dallas-based Halliburton Co., the biggest oil-services company in the world. Because of the instability in the Persian Gulf, Cheney and his fellow oilmen have zeroed in on the world's other major source of oil--the Caspian Sea. Its rich oil and gas resources are estimated at $4 trillion by U.S. News and World Report. [ article - August 10, 2000 Cheney's Black Gold: Oil Interests May Drive US Foreign Policy]

Halliburton & KMNF [Azerbaijan] Ink 12 Year Contract

"Halliburton International Inc. and KASPMORNEFTELOT (KMNF), the marine division of the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR), have entered into a 12-year contract for a marine base and associated services to support Halliburton Sub sea offshore construction activity in the Caspian region. Halliburton Sub sea is a business unit of Halliburton Company’s Energy Services Group. "The base, with a 6,000-square metre lay down area, is located at KMNF’s Southern Basin adjacent to Caspian Shipyard. It will be primarily utilized to support Halliburton Sub sea’s catamaran crane vessel Qurban Abbasov (previously known as the Titan 4) during the restoration and upgrade of the vessel and during the forthcoming offshore construction, pipe lay and sub sea activities. The site will also be developed to provide warehouse, office and training facilities that will include advanced diver and life support technician training, utilizing the company’s 16-man modular saturation system. "The Qurban Abbasov is operated by Halliburton Sub sea in an alliance agreement with SOCAR for a period of 12 years. It will provide an advanced, stable, dynamically positioned construction platform for saturation and remote vehicle diving; flexible and bundle pipeline installation with trenching; emergency pipeline repair, subsurface well intervention with wire line; and coiled tubing. It also will be used in flotel configuration for hook-up and commissioning work. "'The acquisition of the marine base is a further indication of our commitment to the Caspian region and to the success of the partnership arrangements with SOCAR,' says Edgar Ortiz, President and Chief Executive Officer, Halliburton’s Energy Services Group." --Aylward, Marine Publishers and Halliburton Press Release, May 15, 2001.

Quoted text from Press Conference

Look, Kim Jong Il is a dangerous person. He's a man who starves his people. He's got huge concentration camps. And, as David accurately noted, there is concern about his capacity to deliver a nuclear weapon. We don't know if he can or not, but I think it's best, when you're dealing with a tyrant like Kim Jong Il, to assume he can. - George W. Bush

One of the reasons why I thought it was important to have a missile defense system is for precisely the reason that you brought up: Perhaps Kim Jong Il has got the capacity to launch a weapon; wouldn't it be nice to be able to shoot it down? - George W. Bush

This is a six-party talk: five of us on the side of convincing Kim Jong Il to get rid of his nuclear weapons and, obviously, Kim Jong Il believes he ought to have some. - George W. Bush

THESE QUOTES ARE SCAREY because they seem ALL TO FAMALIAR remembering George W. Bush was wrong about Iraq in his "AXIS OF EVIL" speech [click to read].
