Hmm...I thought the Iran government was supplying arms to Iraq?PERUGIA, Italy - In a hidden corner of Rome's busy Fiumicino Airport, police dug quietly through a traveler's checked baggage, looking for smuggled drugs. What they found instead was a catalog of weapons, a clue to something bigger.

There are many sources. Mafia, Iran... you're point being?
Einstein's "Theory of Relativity" is still being challenged to this day, but by consensus Global Warming is a fact... that's REAL science at work, why didn't Albert just go that route?
Halliburton is another source of funding.Quote by: Mr.Vicchio
U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, & TransportationOn January 11, 2005, Iran announced publicly that it had just concluded a contract with the U.S. Company, Halliburton, and an Iranian company, Oriental Kish, to drill for gas in Phases 9 and 10 of South Pars. Under the deal, a Halliburton subsidiary registered in the Cayman Islands, but doing business out of Dubai, Halliburton Products & Services Limited (HPSL), was awarded a subcontract from the Iranian firm Oriental Kish to provide some $30 million to $35 million worth of engineering services per year through Oriental Kish. HPSL had also previously been engaged, since 1995 in several other offshore oil and gas drilling and related engineering projects in Iran. In addition to its Dubai headquarter, the company reportedly also maintained an operational office in Tehran.
Halliburton’s position is that the transactions involving HPSL do not violate US sanctions since Halliburton does not exercise direction or control of HPSL’s activities. They point out that Halliburton Product and Services has no American employees; that its 5 person board of directors consists of four British citizens and a Canadian citizen, but no Americans; and that the “day to day” management and decision-making responsibility at HPSL resides with the Management Director (who is a British citizen) and other local management, all of whom reside in Dubai.” Nevertheless, revelation of this Iran project led to a public outcry.
In response, Halliburton subsequently announced that all Halliburton employees would be withdrawn from Iran and that it would end its pursuit of future business in Iran, apart from the ongoing Oriental Kish deal.

The point is self evident. Bush lied again.
How did "oil deal" get substituted for "arms deal"? Did I miss something or did someone change the topic?

Bush said "Iran, and ONLY Iran is supplying Terrorist in Iraq!"
If you can find that quote, from a real news sources, I'll change my sig to "Bush Lied" otherwise how about you come on here and admit that you were wrong, Bush didn''t lie and you were being a tool?
Fair enough?
Einstein's "Theory of Relativity" is still being challenged to this day, but by consensus Global Warming is a fact... that's REAL science at work, why didn't Albert just go that route?
Good point Dieval! The good old conspiracy theory ploy! Next I expect to see it is the VPs fault and he is profiting from it.We should not only get our troops out of the middle east but we should cease all business with Iran. But??? We shouldn't bomb the bastards, A diplomatic mission by Speaker Pelosi will suffice?How did "oil deal" get substituted for "arms deal"? Did I miss something or did someone change the topic?
Thus we play the fools with the time, and the spirits of the wise sit in the clouds and mock us.
The U.S. has lost thousands of tons of weapons in Iraq. Do you think these weapons just disapeared?
ISN Security Watch - Bush blames Iran, eyes nuclear deadline
Now show us evidence that the Mafia is suppling fighters in Iraq with fire power or manpower.
Of course she'll suffice...she's not Bush, so she can do no wrong... :rolleyes:
...lets try to get back on topic....Italy, arms, etc...

Put two and two together. What might oil deals entail? Profits for increasing state power, which includes funding arms.
