CHENEY SOLD CRUCIAL TECHNOLOGY TO SADDAM!

Subject: Cheney was Saddam's biggest U.S. supplier

A message from GWBush.com:

While Dick Cheney was its CEO, Halliburton sold more technology to Saddam Hussein than any other U.S. corporation. From 1998 to 2001, at least two Halliburton subsidiaries sold Iraq $23.8 million worth of oil industry parts and equipment. These deals were arranged by Halliburton and routed through subsidiaries to avoid political exposure. More than any other U.S. company, Cheney's Halliburton helped Iraq restore its ability to earn the money to develop weapons of mass destruction.

Hard to believe? Maybe this article from the Financial Times of London will convince you:

How does Cheney explain this lapse of judgment? He doesn't. Instead he lies about it. Here's an excerpt from ABC's This Week with Sam Donaldson from August, 2000:

Donaldson: I'm told, and correct me if I'm wrong, that Halliburton, through subsidiaries, was actually trying to do business in Iraq?

Cheney: No. No. I had a firm policy that I wouldn't do anything in Iraq---even arrangements that were supposedly legal.

I guess ABC doesn't have much of a budget for research, because Sam Donaldson failed to cite any sources or documents to challenge Cheney. (Who was it who "told" Sam about the deal? A cab driver? The janitor? Didn't ABC have documents or other sources? The deals, after all, were public and had to be cleared by an international sanctions committee.)

Can't you still hear the press crying "Liar Liar" at Al Gore every time he got some irrelevant detail wrong? Here Cheney tells a blatant lie about a matter of national security---and gets away with it. So much for the Liberal Media!

Incredibly, Cheney recently had the gall to support a ridiculous GOP ad accusing Tom Daschle of supporting Saddam Hussein.

As Bush's approval ratings sag we get closer to another war with Iraq. What is the reason for this next war: to protect national security or just to get Bush back up in the polls? If Iraq is really such a threat, then why did Cheney supply it with crucial technology?

We can't rely on the media to tell this story. But here are three things you can do to get the information out:

1) Please forward this email to as many people as you can.

2) Email Tom Daschle's office and tell him it's time to take the gloves off and start hitting back.

3) Help out with the GWBush.com radio ad project. GWBush.com is producing a professional radio ad with the facts about Cheney's support for Iraq. We've found a cheap way to do this ($500 or so). Once produced, this ad can be forwarded around the Web as a sound file and perhaps if it's a hit we can raise funds to get it on the air during the 2002 and 2004 campaigns. Help us write the ad! We could also use some small donations to get it made. Email us to get involved:

info@gwbush.com

In times like these, when the press won't do its job and the Democrats have their heads in the sand, it's up to regular citizens to get the truth out.

Thank God we now have the Internet to help us do that!  

Sincerely,
Zack

Dylan: Are you kidding? The world don't need me. Christ, I'm only five feet ten. The world could get along fine without me. Don'cha know, everybody dies. It don't matter how important you think you are. Look at Shakespeare, Napoleon, Edgar Allan Poe, for that matter. They are all dead, right?  

The press: Well, Bob, in your opinion, then, is there one man who can save the world?

Dylan: Al Aronowitz.

Hi!

Cool and deep article on Leon.  Thanx!

Any chance in hell you can find a copy of  "The Wedding Album" on cd. Or even cassette.  I have a really bad copy of some of it on cassette that is about 20 years old.  It's been a hurting situation for a long time. Wedding Album rules!!

Thanx again,

Kate

Hi,

I was just telling a friend of mine about the Stephen Reid story.  Susan Musgrave was a guest on the Ontario TV show  "Imprint." http://www.tvo.org/imprint/producers.html

I am appalled at how a so-called "intelligent" show can have Susan Musgrave on as a guest and interview her about Stephen Reid and his criminal activities and her loyalty to him!  What sort of an example is this "Educational" show portraying in this supposedly "enlightened" age concerning women's rights and safety?  Not to mention the poor example this relationship shows to men as well!  Why should people like Stephen Reid be glorified as a writer?  Why should Susan be so revered as a poet when she obviously has some serious problems with her judgment of human character.

Mr. Aronowitz,

Greetings. I am a fan. I hope that your health is fine. I have just discovered your website and the more I read your stories and your history the more impressed I become. Great Stuff!

I am a musician. My band is called MOSES. Like yourself, we are sort of blacklisted in our field because we are different than whats out there now. We are also ,in a way, blacklisted in our area (W.PA., Pittsburgh) because the local homegrown radio ignores our music even though we have played with some major acts passing thru here. Recently we have been well recieved in NYC at Don Hill's Club in the Village. We played there in Aug.2001 and were asked back (with a better billing) soon. We can let you know if your interested ..... check out our website at www.firepowr.com/moses  . If you would also like a CD let us know at email; moses@firepowr.com . Thank you for your time and consideration,

Long Live Rock          

Chuck Moses

Dear Al

I just got an e-mail with the sad news that Dave Van Ronk died on Saturday night. He had an operation for colon cancer last month and never quite recovered. That's all I know.

Michael.
