Halliburton gouging on fuel
PentagonOil services firm once run by Cheney overcharged for fuel it brought into Kuwait: military sources. A Pentagon audit of Halliburton, the oil services company once run by Vice President Dick Cheney, has found it overcharged for fuel it brought into Iraq from Kuwait, military sources said Thursday.

The sources told Reuters that Kellogg Brown and Root, a Halliburton unit which got a no-bid U.S. government contract to rebuild Iraq's oil industry, had been notified by the Pentagon's Defense Contract Audit Agency. So far the company has clocked up $2 billion in business from the March contract...more [MONEY]

Little to say except that the fact speak for themselves. Haliburton profited off Iraq business ((using foreign subsidiaries to avoid the fact that it was against the law) during the 19990's, while Dick Cheney was CEO. Haliburton was given a no-bid contract that has brought in 2 BILLION! so far. Bush made sure to protect them from war-profiteering charges, by adding that protection to his recent war funding bill. Now they are accused by the Pentagon of something that in most prior wars would have been labeled as a form of treason. Is this a great administrations or what?..mj

Nader raiders seek celebs
Forget Al Gore and Howard Dean. The endorsement we're watching  today is from Susan Sarandon to Ralph Nader.

Nader returns to the '04 spotlight tonight, traveling to Princeton, New Jersey, for a $100-a-head fund-raiser organized by the state's Green Party and hosted by millionaire attorney Carl Mayer. Mayer, it should be noted, is a former Dem and longtime Naderite who defied his former party by challenging then-vulnerable Rep. Rush Holt in '00 as a Green. (Holt, a Democrat, won that race by 1,101 votes)...

...Sure they lost the San Francisco mayoral runoff on Tuesday (it wasn't even close). But while the Greens may not have perfected the art of winning elections, they're pretty deft at helping Democrats lose them....more [CNN.com]

The blame for George Bush being President can be laid to Ralph Nader. It now appears that he is going to try and make sure that Bush gets re-elected in 2004. I think that Dean by himself will ensure a Bush victory. Nader will simply destroy any chance of getting Bush out of office.

In past reviews of election history, I have foudn that a lack of solid southern support has always been a conerstone to any Democrat defeat. The combination of a liberal northeasterner, and the Nader/Bush campaigns, will give us four more years of the mess we are currently in...mj
