The ABOT's oil meters have been inoperable since the U.S. invasion nearly four years ago.
"According to State Department officials and reports, about 10 percent to 30 percent of refined fuels is diverted to the black market or is smuggled out of Iraq and sold for a profit.

Any bets on how much of this oil some how makes it back into Cheney or Bush's buddies pockets and somehow they gain by this also?

Halliburton was the principal beneficiary of Cheney%u2019s privatization efforts for our military%u2019s logistical support and Cheney was paid $44 million for five year's work with them before he slipped back through the revolving door of war profiteering to become Vice-President of the United States. Asked about the money he received from Halliburton, Cheney said. "I tell you that the government had absolutely nothing to do with it."



Before the Iraq War began, Halliburton was 19th on the U.S. Army's list of top contractors and zoomed to number 1 in 2003. In 2003, Halliburton made $4.2 billion from the U.S. government. Cheney stated he had %u201Csevered all my ties with the company, gotten rid of all my financial interest."



In 2005, Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) said Cheney's stock options which were worth $241,498 the year before and were valued at more than $8 million in 2005-- an increase of 3,281%. Cheney receives a deferred salary from the company---$205,298 in 2001; $162,392 in 2002; $178,437 in 2003; and $194,852 in 2004.

Bluestandard,

For the past six years, the US has had one party government. One party governments are typically corrupt due to the fact no one challenges them.

Hopefully, in 2008, voters will ensure we have divided government by electing candidates from different parties in the congressional & presidential elections.

A dictatorship led by Democrats will be little different than the GOP led dictatorship. And, would be equally corrupt.

On the most recent account of corruption CBS News Reported via, KVTV Dallas article that billions of gallons of oil are being stolen because Iraq has no meters in place to gauge how much oil is being produced, pumped, or loaded on to tankers in the gulf. This has been going on now in Iraq for years. How can anyone know how much money or oil has been stolen under the watch of Coalition forces, it makes the United Nations Oil for food scandal pale in comparison. If you combine this blatant theft with the Slant drilling being done by Iraqi%u2019s neighbors there are unaccountable billions of dollars being stolen in Iraq right now. What type of management or leadership has been responsible in Iraq for the last four years? Iraqi and American Dollars by the tons have been sent to Iraq and lost, stolen or squandered. Who has been in charge of this oversite where is the accountability?

Sarge,

Lars (and rick) wouldn't be so annoying if he actually posted something worth reading. But he seems to only have about three or four comments he cuts & pastes.

And, they are never on topic.

That seems to indicate some kind of insanity unless he is being paid. And if so, whoever is paying him must be insane because Lars (and Rick) is a lousy spokesman for whatever cause he is attempting to promote.
