This is only a response to point #10. Point blank, you are wrong. Haliburton originally won a contract through a bidding process with the Federal Govt under Bush Sr. This contract stated that Haliburton was the Go-To company in the event that the Fed needed anything done overseas. In other words, the Fed says "We need you to do this now" and Haliburton does it. Their contract expired and they lost it to someone else. Then Clinton flat out GAVE it to Haliburton, he offered no chances for other companies to bid on it. Haliburtons contract that they were *given* by Clinton has not yet expired so they are the go-to company for any work we need in Iraq.

Ok, I'll give you that this last one is on Halliburtons own web site, but it is a copy of an op-ed column in the New York Times.

You're guy got quite a boost today. Not really surprised, Gore's recent remarks have been closer to Dean's stand on the war than to anybody elses.
