Bobby, et al,

I'm somewhat surprised to see you so clearly stating the true reason for
our presence in Iraq, since Bush and Cheney are both from Texas. ;-{)}
Cheney has maintained an "official" residence in Wyoming, but I don't
think he's lived here full-time since he was in college in the '60's.  

I haven't seen Moore's movie, and I probably won't, but from what I've
read about it, he raises some interesting points.  The thing that I've
heard from several sources that concerns me most is the awarding of a $4
billion NO-BID contract to Halliburton, when another US company
(Schlumberger) is one of the leading competitors in the market.  Here's
a link to Schlumberger's web site.

Another competitor to Halliburton is BJ Services, out of Canada, but
founded in the US, and with US subsidiaries.

Kat,


    I wonder why we went to Iraq, which in my opinion diverted resources
from
them hunt for bin Laden. The reason we went there is spelled O I L!
Haliburton is getting the lion's share of contracts. Now it is a
guerrilla war and is
very ugly. I despise Michael Moore and wouldn't pay to see that movie.
