| Posted By: wiseguyly69 Posted On: Dec 9, 2003 Views: 358 | Just another day at the office Check out this flash presentation (JSK would be psyched). http://www.bushflash.com/ma.html The rest of the site has some disturbing stuff. ON this particular film, there are listed a number of companies that are working in post 'war' Iraq. I happen to work for one of them. I posted this film on our 'Current Events' bored and it was pulled. The company happens to be very liberal and is doing what most of us would agree is good work, setting up a health care system, not just pulling out oil and selling big macs. The censorship by my CIO at the company has caused a furor for a freethinking company. I posted it because I feel that the author has mistakenly lumped us in, but as one of my coworkers pointed out, aren't we all guilty in a way by making bucks out of a bad situation. Anyway, this is some good stuff exposing some very bad stuff. There is one called 'your tax dollars at work' that is making my skin crawl. You be the judge... wiseguy |

Perhaps you could have been a part of keeping Saddam & Sons employed, while men are tossed 50-60 feet to their deaths, women raped and children imprisoned. Then how would you feel? How would any of us feel? For that you'll have to ask others, I was on the side of the angels. atf |
| Posted By: wiseguyly69 Posted On: Dec 9, 2003 Views: 346 | RE: Just another day at the office You're right Fonz; thanks for the splash of cold water I needed. Saddam had to go but I think there must have been other ways. STill, SOMEONE has to build up the infrastructure and help Iraq 'be all it can be.' My coworkers have nothing to be ashamed of; this company of mine has done many great works in a wide swath of society. Course they do it with taxpayers' cash, but what are you people gonna do with it, commision Cleo to film your own private wrasklin match, without those damn boots?? |
| Posted By: JSK Posted On: Dec 9, 2003 Views: 335 | RE: Just another day at the office I would be psyched Wise-ass if the presentation spoke more of the truth . Sure it tells of the body count but also goes on to place blame on companies and organizations instead of what the war was really about. Show me the proof of that and maybe I'll think differently . I don't see any decline in our fuel prices and I don't see our nation getting rich off this war . I also don't see these companies (including yours) gaining more than they did before all of this . Besides most were theives well before any weapons were drawn. Granted some companies will make money from this but do you really think this is why this all happened and continues to ? Come on now . Just because the person(s) made a cool flash presentation don't be too fooled WG . What this presentation was is a one sided look . I could make one just like it , but I wouldn't waste my time . But if I did .... I would show dead citizens of Iraq by the hands of their own leader and people. I would show palaces and wealth which is taken from that country. I'd show women being raped and hung for the most Godawful reasons . I would show husbands being executed for the slightest things . I would show oil wells being torched and a povershed nation . I would show people who could be something that are not because they are not allowed to be . I'd show teachers in caves and hidden rooms educating people and I would then show the ones caught for doing so . Then I would show the good of whats going on over there . I see none of that and it is happening . Thats what you don't see . I would show people being allowed to be people and live without fear. But I won't . JSK |
| Posted By: wiseguyly69 Posted On: Dec 9, 2003 Views: 329 | Yeah, I hear ya, J the point I made to my CIO was that any extremist with flash skills can participate in character assassination. All the awful things you listed did happen in Iraq, but they happen in a number of nations. All's I'm saying is that it gives the liberals ammo to sweat the hawks with the oil connection. Maybe we'll pick this issue up tomorrow, I gotsta go... wg |

| Posted By: legion Posted On: Dec 10, 2003 Views: 294 | RE: Just another day at the office What was the war really about, genius? Because Saddam was a bad guy? He was about as much a threat to the US as Capt'n Kangaroo. (quoting someone?) And the United States has already killed way more Iraqis than wimpy old Saddam could ever manage. The United States Fourth Reich is galdurned mthrfcking travelling SLAUGHTERHOUSE on the World stage. "Few of the major media outlets bothered to uncover the ravages of 12 years of economic sanctions and the deadly effects of long range exposure to depleted uranium. If more Americans were aware of the scale of genocide which US foreign policy had inflicted upon the people of Iraq, it would not have come as such a surprise that their soldiers have not been greeted as liberators. Actually, given the level of discontent among the average Iraqi, the resistance is taking on almost mythical qualities. They have certainly captured the imagination of most Iraqis, whereas those who have joined the US sponsored police are viewed as traitors." - CNN reporter in Iraq Oh right, he was bad. Newsflash dimwit: There's lot's and lot's of bad guys around right now, and your President doofus is the number one threat facing humanity in the World today. And I don't really care what hogswallop you've manage to ingest to regurgitate what you figure passes for an opinion, compared to me, you don't know jack. I see no fundamental ideological difference between your Republicans and the Taliban. Q: Since when did the right care about Iraqis? A: Since there's been an opportunity to go to war for them. |

| Posted By: wiseguyly69 Posted On: Dec 11, 2003 Views: 275 | Hey Legion Can you post the link to the CNN quote if you have the time? I think that would be excellent to add to my collection at the company bulletin board. I'm trying to get, ahh, layed off. Also, I'm not sure if you were addressing me in your colorful speech, but you'd be wise to heed the old fortune cookie message: 'He who boasts knowledge, proclaims ignorance' That's my all time favorite, just ahead of: 'When choosing Chinese restaurant, make sure there are plenty of stray cats in neighborhood.'
