Re: [privacy] Who is paying for the Iraq War

Sorry to respond to this email, "BUT" that is not the conversation that was
intended to be started. The Gentleman who responded to my email, just
mentioned that it is off the topic and that NO one really knows what is
behind which move. So, I would request everyone to stop talking about IRAQ
War talk in the Privacy listing.

This is not what I intended to start. What I was talking about is about the
Government, which is concentrating on many different things and lacking its
concentration on certain issues that might become a loophole for the bad
ones to enter into the nation. It is about loss of privacy or data theft,
and not about Iraq war.

Kind Regards,
Shyaam

We got a much better deal in the 1991 Iraq War.  The Saudi's paid for
about 75% of the costs of the war.  Cheney was in charge of the sales job
in 1991.  He told the Saudi's if you don't stop Saddam in Kuwait, you're
next.
