DS This should really be good. How has Michael Moore profitted off of Iraq?  Please don't tell me you're gonna say his movies. I hope you have something better than that. Ohh man. [/b][/quote]Yes my friend it is with his movies! He has made over 125 million dollars off of his movie alone. I will look up the web site now and post it in a few minutes. It breaks down Haliburton and Michael Moore and there profits off the war in Iraq. It is quite interesting. DS

At least I have respect for people like The Dr. Hahhaaha. Remember how you still haven't refuted his post yet? He's the one debating you. You're clearly being owned my old partner.

Mr. Clinton and Hillary as well as Kerry all had the same intellegence as Bush. I mean come on now its getting kind of old. The only one on there that cut that intelligence spending was your President Dubya though. Originally posted by Don Smitty:

There's no doubt in my mind he has made $125 million off of his movie; however, I don't care about that. I want to know how and why you think he made this money off of the war.

Now if you want to get into the discussion of companies making profits from this war, that's a whole different animal.
That's not what he wants to get into. Maybe you should re-read his post. Quoting figures about the world's oil production is all well and good but it ignores the fact that American business has gained from the taxpayer-funded war.
It is an historical fact, true now as ever, that wars are waged by rich people in their own interest, paid for by the money, hard work and lives of the poor.
Notice the words 'American business,' DC. He didn't ask about Germany or any other country, yet you reply with one American company earning a profit and nearly a dozen English companies and a German company.

So does that mean you can't show me how Moore earned a profit off of the war? Oh well, good day sir. And if you're concerned with your blood pressure, maybe you should join the gym. I'm off to it now. I'll be back!!

Originally posted by Don Cardi: Well Dr. Who fixed Lucy, DonMichaelCorleone, and all of the others who have intelligently debated this issue, it was a good one until the last few posts. Unfortunately there seems to be someone amongst us who cannot ever debate the issue at hand without making personal attacks on anothers character, or changing the topic. Unfortunately another topic has been polluted with imaturity, name calling and attacks. So it's no longer worth it to continue as this one member here has now turned another great topic into a shit one. 
Don Cardi Fact: I called no one a name. Fact: I personally attacked no one. Opinion: The maturity at which you question.

Go on, answer with your usual smileys and "Let's all laugh at him 'cause the joke's on him, poor boy" sarcasm. Though I'd appreciate it if you told me why you felt the need to jump on Cardi's bandwagon, when what he had said was already valid and to the point. Or are you a practising parrot?

I don't dispute that corporations around the WORLD saw $$ signs at the onset of the War. So we agree... in that case, join me in the next logical step. US Elections are fuelled by lobbyist's dollars; government policy is shaped by the dollar; the invasion of Iraq was for money in the form of oil and contracts. In other words, it was not a holy crusade or a moral war, but an exercise in capitalist expansion!
[T]he same could be said for U.K. companies like Aegis Defence Ltd ...
Agreed; my argument was not anti-American but anti-capitalist in the sense that profit is not a valid motive for war (not against capitalism per se before I get accused of being a communist!!)
So again, your arguement is without merit. The U.S. is not the only country with contractors in Iraq.
No... my argument does not hinge on the US being the only country in Iraq ... its about the reasons behind the war, not the participants in it. It is sufficient that the US was one of the countries involved: indeed, it was the country most heavily involved.
