I don't see what's wrong with showing the men that we are women
Seriously, in that hooded pics, I got MORE im requests and flowers and passerbys than ever in this pic. In this pic, I just get nastygrams...who cares...
the quality of my "information" is off of a government website. I posted it, you may or may not chose to look at it.
Companies that benefit from the Iraq War
Dyncorp International (DCP) received 97% of its 2006 revenue from the U.S. government, particularly the Department of Defense. From FY2002 to FY2006, contracts related to the Iraq War increased Dyncorp's revenues over 260%. Additionally, DCP just received a new 10-year contract valued at up to $5 billion per year. The immediate focus of this contract is providing services to U.S. soldiers in Iraq as well as training services to the newly-instated Iraqi government.
KBR (KBR), a former subsidiary of Halliburton Company (HAL), is the largest defense services provider to the U.S. Army. In 2006, its operations in Iraq accounted for 45% of its revenue, down from 50% in 2005. In addition to defense services, KBR also specializes in the construction of both civil infrastructure and oil and natural gas production facilities. KBR was awarded a contract to reconstruct oil fields in Iraq. The impact of this contract on KBR's revenues and profits is not yet known; the contract had no time or dollar limits.
General Dynamics (GD) and AM General, a privately held firm, produce Humvees and other military vehicles. GD also manufactures aircraft and sea vessels designed for military purposes.
Armor Holdings (AH) and Force Protection (FRPT) produce armor for the Humvees and other vehicles used by the U.S. military. Lockheed Martin (LMT) just won a $1 billion contract from the U.S. Air Force to train search and rescue crews and special operations forces. Discontinued operations in Iraq would decrease the demand for services such as these.
DHB Industries, Inc. (DHBT.PK) manufactures bulletproof garments used by the U.S. military. From 2002 to 2004, revenue increased from $130 million to $340 million, an increase of 161%. DHB has not filed a 10-K since 2004, making more recent data unavailable.
Alliant Techsystems (ATK) derives nearly 80% of its sales from the U.S. government, and more than 35% from the U.S. Army and Air Force combined. ATK designs and produces defense products and missile systems, as well as artillery and ammunition, used by the U.S. military and its allies.
In Jun 2008, the Oil Majors moved into Iraq to begin drilling for the first time since 1972; despite the outrage many U.S. and international citizens have expressed over their seeming exploitation of a long and bloody war, these oil companies hope to take advantage of the country's estimated 350 billion barrels of oil.
Although they were Saudis? Would we dare to touch Saudia Arabia? Of course not, and why not? Starting a war for long term and short term profit is nothing new. I think that we could have done so many more things at first other than starting a war. That is just my opinion and one that won't ever change. In time, the truth will be told. Maybe. Thank you again for your service to our country. We are lucky to have you.
Due to the war, China already owns us. I can remember a time when the dollar was far above the Canadian one. It hasn't been that way for a few years now. That is nothing new. Maybe just maybe there is some method to his madness. Heaven knows the last 8 years of madness had no method other than to make the rich richer-which was successful. I will take a job at minimum wage for a fair days work. I don't care at this point. Being underemployed for over 2 years, any fulltime job would be a blessing. Like I said, I'm in a wait and see mode. President Obama is no dummy and he actually understands the crisis. That is more than I can say for the former President.
with all his stupid antics, screwed up words, silly faces-watch this video and tell me that the American people didn't get played by his "slapstick" charm?
To all the right wingers out there-you had your chance and made America what it is today. Thanks a bunch.
Unconditional would mean without conditions. I have yet to meet anyone that gave me unconditional love in return. If you have met someone then I applaud you. I think that maybe women are more than willing to love unconditionally than men are. Easily deduced by how many battered women are out there as opposed to battered men. They stand by their men-out of love-not all of them, mind you, but a good portion.
If it was a two way street - divorce rates would be lower and there would be less single people. jmo
I don't believe in unconditional love anymore as it has always been one sided with me. The only unconditional love I'll ever have anymore is for my kid and my mom.
