I'm not proposing we postpone, that was the fool Bonior's argument, that we are responsible for the dying children because of embargo. I say those children have a better chance if we take out the despot. I say it's time for him to go ... straight to Hell and not pass GO. I have major issues with the postponeNIKS who have no hesitation in exposing US to greater threat down the road in order to thwart the pubby president ... as if al goreghoul could have been more decisive, what with his history of appeasement and ignoring the threats over eight years while sidekicking with the sinkEmperor. Nice try to obfuscate though ...
Thanks for putting this up for me, Cache. I was about to die.
Indeed, the Fatemis are quite well established in the energy field, Ms. Byrd's husband, Mohammad, is now just resigned from Amoco, but previously, he represented the industry at the Argonne Institute annual meetings.
His sons, Fredrik and Darius, (Byrd's grandsons,) are both physicists and very ensconced in our military establishment, including satellite imaging and nuclear research.
There is a whole lot more here than meets the eye, including a program that Byrd attributes to humself of an Appalachian/Turkish business partnership.
Money, oil, and nuclear physics sound like interesting reasons to oppose any grappling with Iraq, but if y'all will recall, Byrd wanted Clinton to lower the EPA standards for West Virginia coal. Clinton promised he would if Byrd would vote against conviction at Clinton's impeachment trial. Byrd did, then Clinton told him to kiss the sky.
It wouldn't surprise me even a little, if he hasn't made that same demand of Bush and got turned down flat.
