Cheney "coordinated" with Haliburton Bid Award
While receiving upwards of a million dollars a year from Haliburton, Dick Cheney received a memo from the army confirming the "coordination" of the noncompetetive award of business to Haliburton.
Source: AP, 2004-06-06
Candidate: Dick Cheney
An Army official called an e-mail he wrote that has Democratic lawmakers questioning Vice President Dick Cheney's roll in the award of a multibillion dollar contract to Halliburton, a public relations courtesy, the Washington Post reported on Saturday.
The comments from Stephen Browning, a civilian regional director in the Army Corps of Engineers based in San Francisco, came after House Democrats earlier this week urged a special probe into whether Cheney broke the law through any involvement in the award of that contract to his old company, Halliburton.
Democrats claim the word "coordinated" in the e-mail suggested Cheney's office had a role in deciding to award the contract, worth as much at $7 billion, to the Halliburton subsidiary KBR three days later, the paper wrote.
In an interview Friday evening on CNBC'S "Kudlow & Cramer" news program, Cheney denied seeing the questioned e-mail or having any part in awarding the Department of Defense contract. "My office is not involved in lending contracts to DOD or any place else. Vice presidents don't do that; never have," Cheney said.
The Army Corps' Browning said he used the word "coordinated" in his e-mail because a senior pentagon official, Douglas Feith, had said his office had contacted Cheney's office as a courtesy to let them know the contract had been awarded, the Post reported.

the posting below was not put by salman el-arabi.
more likely that it was posted by a character who
called his/her self many different names among
them were mike e., shalomi, mean stream etc. read
"they dare to speak out" by paul findley and you
will have a glimpse of how such weak and cowardly
characters work. they work through duplicity,
connive, deception and very little regard for the
truth.
the garbage in the posting below
was posted by this weakling and the following was
my response to it then. see the lengthy exchange
in this link within

ok,
jesus said to
turn the other cheek, yet we know that in the
history of the new world entire communities and
civilizations were murdered in the name of jesus
(pbuh). the m-ssacre at wounded knee makes the
devil blush in shame. fleeing native families who
expressed their desire not to confront and rather
leave were murdered. the same mentalities rule
(govern, in charge) in the us nowadays except that
they do not call their enemies savages they call
them terrorists.
imagine that..
take
over a land inhabited by millions, kill them, and
drive them out of their homes.
use your
global influence to establish 'legitimacy' for
your action and have 78% of the land -ssigned to
you.
continue to expropriate more of the
remaining 22% of the land and follow the rightful
owners of the land and continue your persecution
against them this time in their refugee
camps.
when these people fight back with
their limited means, use your propaganda global
influence to use a term to label them that would
justify your further persecution of them: islamic
terrorists. as if your acts of aggression were
not based on false biblical (underlined ten times)
claims.
get this mr. mike e.
shalomi:
if you have relatives in the
zionist entity do them a favor; lobbies the us to
appropriate some land for them in s. dakota. the
palestinians are not native americans and we are
not in the nineteenth century. work for an
orderly transfer because it is coming, much sooner
than you think. another thing, christians do not
like the jewish people. balfour was a
conservative anti semite more than pat robertson;
however, like pat robertson, he sees a country for
all the jews is a good way to rid the christians
of all the jews. i mention pat robertson because
i think that he is the de-facto president of the
united states not dick cheney.
whether
the audience of this forum likes it or not, this
is a religious war.
according to g. w.
bush (documented), you, mike e. shalomi, are
doomed, literally (now and in the hereafter)
because you do not ascribe to his ideology. now
here is a more generous offer from the allah's
book to humanity that you have insulted recklessly
numerous times:
those who believe (in the
qur'an), and those who follow the jewish
(scriptures), and the christians and the sabians,-
any who believe in allah and the last day, and
work righteousness, shall have their reward with
their lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall
they grieve.
koran 002.062
not your
desires, nor those of the people of the book (can
prevail): whoever works evil, will be requited
accordingly. nor will he find, besides allah, any
protector or helper.
if any do deeds of
righteousness, - be they male or female - and have
faith, they will enter heaven, and not the least
injustice will be done to them.
koran 004.123
and 004.124
finally, what you have asked
for, repeatedly and persistently:
allah
forbids you not, with regard to those who fight
you not for (your) faith nor drive you out of your
homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them:
for allah loveth those who are
just.
allah only forbids you, with regard
to those who fight you for (your) faith, and drive
you out of your homes, and support (others) in
driving you out, from turning to them (for
friendship and protection). it is such as turn to
them (in these circumstances), that do wrong.

homosexuality was and is widely practised in
islamic conutries. to please the homosexuals among
his followers he promised them pre- pubescent boys
in paradise. so after committing plunder, loot,
rape and murder in this life, the followers of
islam get "rewarded" by untouched virginal youths
who are fresh like pearls.
the relevant
verses from the koran are:
koran 52:24
round about them will serve, to them, boys
(handsome) as pearls well- guarded.
koran 56:17 round about them will serve
boys of perpetual freshness.
koran 76:19
and round about them will serve boys of perpetual
freshness: if thou seest them, thou wouldst think
them scattered pearls.
as mentioned in
my previous article, famous poets in arabia
glorified homosexuality. as an example i am
including a poem in
'perfumed garden' by
abu nuwas:
o the joy of sodomy!
so now be sodomites, you arabs. turn not
away from it-- therein is wondrous pleasure.
take some coy lad with kiss-curls
twisting on his temple and ride as he stands like
some gazelle standing to her mate.
a lad
whom all can see girt with sword and belt not like
your whore who has to go veiled.
make
for smooth-faced boys and do your very best to
mount them, for women are the mounts of the devils
need i say anything more after this
colorful rendition by abu nuwas ?
the
forgotten holocaust: the eastern slave trade
the arab slave trade is the longest yet
least discussed of the two major trades. it begins
in the 7th century ad as arabs and other asians
poured into northern and eastern africa under the
banner of islam, either converting or subjugating
the african societies they came upon. in the
beginning there was some level of mutual respect
between the blacks and the more caucasian-semitic
arabs. mihdja, a black man, is said to be the
first muslim killed in battle while another,
bilal, is regarded as a "third of the faith."
dhu'l-nun al-misri, born in upper egypt near
sudan, is regarded as the founder of sufism. today
sufism's greatest stronghold is in southern egypt
and sudan. islamic prosperity was based upon black
as well as arabic genius.
the children
of a stinking nubian black---god put no light in
their complexion! arab poet, late 600ad,
but as islamic prosperity grew, so
did an air of hostility towards many blacks,
muslims or otherwise. some arabs complained about
having to work next to blacks in high positions.
after the prophet's death, even the descendants of
bilal received negative treatment. arabic writings
became laced with anti-black sentiment. this
reaction of blacks at the time to this can be seen
in the writings of a contemporary 9th century
black scholar in residence at baghdad by the name
of abu 'uthman' amr ibn bahr al-jahiz. al-jahiz,
to confront a growing tide of anti-black sentiment
in the muslim world, published a highly
controversial work at the time titled, kitab fakhr
as-sudan 'ala al-bidan, "the book of glory of the
blacks over the whites." al-jahiz in his work
contended that even the prophet mohammad's father
may have been of african lineage.
these
new attitudes towards blacks by arabs marked the
beginning of african enslavement. though not based
solely on race, the arab slave trade did focus
heavily upon africans whom arabs now saw as
inferior to themselves. at first these arabs
raided african villages themselves seeking humans
for sale. this not being always successful, they
soon enlisted the aid of fellow african muslims or
recently converted blacks. wrapping themselves
within islam, these converts rationalized the
slavery of their non muslim brethren as the
selling of "unbelievers." at other times the arabs
would demand tribute in the form of human bodies
from africans weary of the fight against
arabic-islamic incursions.
the
arabs took advantage of regional wars in africa to
buy captives from the victor. they also used the
old divide-and-conquer technique. they worked one
group against the other and took or killed the
best and strongest. s.e. anderson, the black
holocaust for beginners
slave raids
and markets the arab slavers raided at nightfall,
during the dinner time. africans who resisted or
tried to run were shot and killed. most adult men
were killed as the arabs favored women and
children for sale. the captives then endured a
long and torturous march through the african
countryside as the slavers searched and gathered
more captives. young men, women, and children were
bound by hand and by neck throughout this journey,
enduring beatings and rapes along the way. those
who fell sick or dead were left behind. others
remained bound to living captives.
after surviving the torturous ride
aboard the arab slave ships, africans were taken
to the slave markets. here muslim men would
inspect their intended purchases. women and young
girls were degradingly probed by these men in
public or private stalls to test their sexual
worth. those that did not survive their time in
these markets were left out to rot. it is said
that that hyenas, very numerous in the region,
"gorged themselves on human flesh..." pictured
here is a slave market in east africa.
concubines and eunuchs pictured here is
an african trader (possibly an egyptian)with two
sudanese slave girls for sale. the african is a
muslim while the girls are not. the eastern slave
trade dealt primarily with african women: a ratio
of two women for each man. these women and young
girls were used by arabs and other asians as
concubines. filling the harems of wealthy arabs,
they often bore them a host of children. this
sexual abuse of african women would continue for
nearly 1200 years.
the eastern slave
trade also dealt in the sale of castrated male
slaves: aghas or eunuchs. used as guards and
tutors, these slaves were central to familial
peace, protection and order in many wealthy muslim
households. eunuchs were created by completely
amputating the scrotum and penis of
8-to-12-year-old african boys. hundreds of
thousands of young boys may have been subjected to
this genital mutilation. many bled to death during
the gory procedure. the survival rate of this
process ranged from 1 in 10 to 1 in 30.
holocaust: the numbers due to the
enormous length of the arab slave trade, from 700
to 1911ad, it is impossible to be certain of the
numbers of africans sold in this system. estimates
place the numbers somewhere around 14 million: at
least 9.6 million african women and 4.4 african
men.
it has been estimated that in all,
at least 14 to 20 million african men, women and
children died throughout this trade. (photos and
