A report on Mosul bombing you won't hear on CNN or any other U.S.A station
Edited on Tue Dec-21-04 11:31 PM by glarius
On CNN the report of the Mosul bombing leaves out a few details that Kathy Tomlinson reports on CTV....Among other things the tent was supposed to be replaced by a safer structure built by Halliburton....If you click on the link I've provided and then on the left hand side of the page, right under the story, U.S. base attacked as Blair visits Baghdad, click on "CTV News: Kathy Tomlinson on the Mosul massacre 3:15"......

1. Well....
on NBC nightly news tonite, they said another structure built out of concrete and steel was being erected down the road. I'm not sure if that was the Halliburton project or not.

5. "the tent was supposed to be replaced by a safer structure
built by Halliburton."

Somehow I believe a project like that should have been a priority.

In other words, Halliburton gets paid big bucks to do the job, but never even gets it started.

7. Probably because their employees don't want to get blown up
TOO BAD HALLIBURTON.. If you can't do the job *I* paid for, then quit.. and give the billions back. Gawd this makes me mad.

9. IS there any doubt what is most important to Halliburton?
Edited on Wed Dec-22-04 12:05 AM by nascarblue
Their only concern is the oil hijacking. Remember the Al Qaaqa story? They left a huge ammo supply facility to guard the oil ministry. This is no surprise at all. The only thing that bugs me is the state of the US mainstream media. They're worthless.

8. My news report said KBR's Iraqi men were being targeted
Which is why they couldn't get the job done.

Uh, so what they're saying is privatization of the military fails again and soldiers die?
