Remind me again where I said I taught my kids to kill.


You didn't, directly. You did encourage them into the MC, right?

I'm a viet vet, but discourage as many young people from becoming cannon
fodder for the United Nations Army/Navy/MC/AF as I can, now. These
constant wars are caused by BANKERS who control our government and stand
to
make billions if the wars can be sustained as long as possible.

Hey...who cares, as long as dead soldiers translate into money?

Official Calls Kurd Oil Deal at Odds With Baghdad

By ALISSA J. RUBIN and ANDREW E. KRAMER



BAGHDAD, Sept. 27 — A senior State Department official in Baghdad
acknowledged Thursday that the first American oil contract in Iraq, that of
the Hunt Oil Company of Dallas with the Kurdistan Regional Government, was
at cross purposes with the stated United States foreign policy of
strengthening the country’s central government.



“We believe these contracts have needlessly elevated tensions between the
K.R.G. and the national government of Iraq,” the official said, referring to
the Kurdistan Regional Government. The official was not authorized to speak
for attribution on the oil contract.
