That&#39;s funny. ***I thought they withdrew from the bidding process. Of course, this has nothing to do with the fact that they are the number one company at these processes in the U.S. ***So, obviously, they will recieve microsoft-esque criticism like this. If you want some real juicy oil company mischief, check out the TotalFinaElf cases in French court.[/QUOTE]<span id='postcolor'>
My question was more about Dick Cheney than Halliburton. ***

And the whole point of my question was to see if you would find Dick Cheney to be innocent of oil-money connections (in the face of strong evidence) as quickly as you found Scott Ritter guilty of Saddam Hussein connections (in the face of weak evidence).

Well, its actually because only minutes after Tre Kronor lost against Canada, the Swedish Patriot Act #1 was implemented. It was prepared in advance, and announced by Swedish primeminister Göran Persson live from the stadium. It consist severe limits of our civil rights, but its all worth it - because we all really have to support our national hockey team in these hard times.

Amongst many other sections in the act, the reason for denoir&#39;s patriotic post is probably due to section #5 which clearly state that all patriots around the world must support eachother, no matter what are the grounds for different patriotism. Failure to do so is to be punsihed by "seriouis consequenses". Ofcourse there are false "patriots" around the world, like Canadian hockey supporters, but they have to be looked at for what they are: evil, lying and decieving terrorists.

btw, I dont care much for hockey, so I&#39;m living undercover now hiding in a cave by the sea. Its a hard life being an unpatriotic rebel...... ***

LOL. Nice try, but no I&#39;m not kidding when I&#39;m say that Canada is directly responsible for my post. Ask Warin, he can confirm it

It&#39;s true&#33; I am afraid that Canadas win in the World Championship of Hockey caused a dramatic shift in Denoirs political ideology. It&#39;s stunning. I had no idea that he took hockey that seriously

I don&#39;t support the patriot act at all. It needs to be revised drastically.

It has happened a number of places.

The Patriot Act has nothing to do with being a Patriot. If anything it has more to do with tyranny and oppression than anything else. The Republicans, thinking that their electoral wins gives them a mandate, have started pushing an agenda that is all but insane.

[Schoeler]

The fact that the Republicans want to remove the sunset clause from the Patriot Act frankly scares the hell out of me. I think they forgot about two elements of our government in their deliberations, namely: The Bill of Rights and The Supreme Court. Contrary to some people&#39;s ambitions, we do not yet live in a totalitarian democracy.

[Jinef]

Haha

Point and laugh&#33;

Umm anyway, we are not much better.

[Jinef]

Hmm we should have had bets on how many hundreds and tens of pages this thread would take up. Measure the war by how much people natter on about it.

This thread documents people&#39;s ideas, predictions (mainly wrong ones by Denoir of death and destruction to the infidel forces ) and events that happened throughout the GW2, it is a valuable resource.

So let&#39;s have some more predictions shall we?

- America will be suprisingly good hearted, forget about superficial values and help the Iraqi people into a stabilised country in the ME.
- America will load up the oil, build a few mcdonalds to aid in the &#39;food&#39; distribution and then fuck off.
- The UN will be left to rebuild it and criticised heavily in doing so by the Americans, we will all have forggoten it was thye who started it in the first place.

Let&#39;s have some more ideas, the aftermath of Bush&#39;s liberty giving/oil taking sort of thing.
