31. Dick Cheney will do anything for oil!
MARK ,   Boston   (10.21.07)
candal-plagued Halliburton -- the oil services company once headed by Vice President Cheney -- sold an Iranian oil development company key components for a nuclear reactor, say Halliburton sources with intimate knowledge into both companies’ business dealings. Halliburton was secretly working at the time with one of Iran’s top nuclear program officials on natural gas related projects and sold the components in April to the official's oil development company, the sources said. THIS STORY MUST GET INTO THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA!! CHENEY WANTS TO ATTACK IRAN FOR GETTING NUCLEAR WEAPONS WHILE HIS COMPANY SOLD THEM ALL THE PARTS TO MAKE NUCLEAR WEAPONS Cheney does not care if there is a world war as long as he gets oil from Iran. He wants to build pipelines for oil to to go to Oil Companies. They are oil men!!
32. iran dont give a damn. its already a nuclear power
haseeb   (10.21.07)
what they'r going to do. iran is now on to high level of nuclear technology and what about israel what kind of people they are they have one law for one country and completly different law for another country this is prejudice.
33. Cheney has put Israel in danger!
MARK ,   Boston   (10.21.07)
Dick Cheney has framed Iran by giving them key nuclear parts to Make Weapons and Bombs. Halliburton sold Iran all the necessary parts so they could eventually begin a nuclear Weapons program. He intentionally did this by using an offshore subdidiary in the Cayman Islands. Scandal-plagued Halliburton -- the oil services company once headed by Vice President Cheney -- sold an Iranian oil development company key components for a nuclear reactor, say Halliburton sources with intimate knowledge into both companies’ business dealings. They had an office in Tehran and those business dealings were sent to the Cayman Islands and forwarded to the Halliburton office in the United States. Cheney could care less about oil. He profits from wars and the price of oil. Instability in the Mid East raises the profit margins for the oil companies.
34. Cheney loves the high price of oil.
MARK ,   Boston   (10.21.07)
Starting a war with Iran will make the price of oil skyrocket. It will make the region more volatile and create a world war.
35. # MARCEL - shouldn't you be watching 'discovery' channel?

36. Mark from Boston - sounds like you went off your meds....
AJ ,   Washington, DC   (10.21.07)
cold turkey. I hope you don't believe these demented rants of yours.
37. #32 - No Haseeb - its the same law....
AJ ,   Washington, DC   (10.21.07)
civilized countries who don't go around threatening to wipe their neighbors off the map get to keep their nukes. Maniacs like the ones in Tehran don't get to develop theirs to inflict on the free world. Its pretty simple actually.
38. My response to "nabil" from "lebanon"
Ibrahim ,   Lebanon   (10.22.07)
The other talkbalks i won´t answer because GOD will decide at the end,i am a muslim believer,and i believe it. #8: So you are treathing iran with a nuclear attack as hiroshima...........ok,hence iran would have the right for defense himself with nuclear arms,or not??????don´t answer,it really doesn´t mind your response,iran will be a nuclear power,even wether america wants or not.It is already not negotiable.
39. #36 I read the facts only.
Mark ,   USA   (10.22.07)
These are proven facts that I have verified. I am not a conspiracy nut. I believe 9/11 was an Inside Job as well. You can call me crazy but I would not believe a word Dick Cheney or George Bush says because they lie.
40. #37 There is a Maniac in Washington D.C.
Mark ,   USA   (10.22.07)
He is George Bush. Any person that even talks about the possibility of World War 3 is acting like a maniac. Bush's comments show me he is a threat to the world too.
41. Lest Cheney would fight like a man, and not
Johnson ,   USA   (10.22.07)
hiding like cowards behind women and children.

mark are you so naive or just stupid?
43. #39
jerome ,   basalt, co   (10.22.07)
if you think 9-11 was an inside job with all the evidence that is in front of your face, you are a nut job!!! you wouldn't know a pit bull if it bit you in the face or the truth for that matter! the facts you think are the truth are not, your verifcation is not! wake up or shut up!
44. AMERICA has a BIG BAG of TRICKS
RCA ,   USA   (10.22.07)
waiting for Iran, should it be necessary.
45. #26 Been getting yur daily dose of prophecy from the cracker

John Gelfand ,   Dillon, USA   (10.22.07)
we'll probably have to drag your entire misguided backward culture into the 21st Century......kicking and screaming you primitive mook
48. Would it be anti-Semitic to point out that the Washington
Apartheid ,   Boston USA   (10.22.07)
Institute for Near East Policy (not studies) was established by Haim "Israeli is my only concern" Saban and it is led by Martin Indyk, who started his illustrious career at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee and went on to become the Ambassador to Israel. Holy Mearsheimer and Walt! It is also interesting that both this paper and the NYT seem to want to disguise the real name of the organization.
49. #40 - Bush is 100% right....
AJ ,   Washington, DC   (10.22.07)
He's not talking abuot the US or Israel STARTING world war III, but if Iran has nukes, expect nothing less than WW III, starting wtih a strike on Tel Aviv And I am glad Bush realizes that. What part of "erase Israel from the map" do you not understand? And whom do you think is next if they hit Israe - you don't think the Iranian plan for domination would end with Israel's demise, do you? You may think you can close your eyes to that reality, but Bush and Chaney know that Iran's nuke program must be stopped at all costs. That's right Mark, all costs. Pay now with a war where many will die or pay later in a bigger war in which millions and millions will be killed. I am glad Bush and Cheney are not closing their eyes to this danger. Count on a strike on Iran's facilities before Bush leaves office, my friend. The US can and will take care of this threat to the entire free world.
50. He has given the same speech at every...
Persian CAT   (10.22.07)
meeting attended by a bunch of rightwing Israel-firsters, some wearing their skullcaps for good measure, in DC who'd love to hear him promise to attack Iran for years. He came to the Washington Institute for Near East shit tank, delivered his canned off-the-shelf speech and left without mentioning what the hell he meant by "consequences". But then that was not important. The important thing is the Likudniks heard what they had paid for and Dick went back home to keep an eye on the high price of oil which will guarnatee him a comfotable retirment.
51. #8. It depends which history you prefer...
Persian CAT   (10.22.07)
I won't try to change your schoolboy crush on the US might. You'll grow up some day and realize the world is not as simple as you imagine. May I suggest that you pick up a book about Viet Nam and read it, since you are so interested in history?
52. 19 AnonyMOUSE: I have never used illegal drugs and do not
Rivkah   (10.22.07)
intend to start. I suffered ten years of pain from surgical adhesions rather than to even use legal narcotics that are addictive. You are being irreverent and irrelevant.
53. to #32 same delusionist american
haseeb ,   canada   (10.22.07)
man you people are so blinded by the propaganda of your media that there is no way i can debate you logiacaly. iranian president never never in his life said that he is going to whipe israel out of the map. there is no evidence no profe. translate his speech correctly into farsi by the professor from india to israel will not agree with american translation.
54. I'll believe cheney when the usa bombs iran, and not until
debra ,   usa   (10.22.07)
then. i think israel will bomb iran's nuke sites just like they had to do in syria, after bush said it was too early to attack syria. i just don't see bush as concerned enough or confident enough to attack iran. the jews of israel will get the job done against iran.
55. Don't give him more time!
Daniel ,   Israel   (10.22.07)
Iran is holding Israel hostage. If that mad man’s words are taken seriously, and if he fires 11,000 missiles in a minute or even hours most of them will fall over Israel, and whatever defence system we have or what ever numbers US is planning to sale to us; will not prevent damage! If you want to do it, do it now and swiftly, take him with lightning speed, without giving him time to think. That will eliminate him and eliminate WW III too. That will prevent more pollution which will otherwise add to global warming and natural end the world will remain at bay. Do not waste our time that gives him time to produce more of those dirty weapons.
56. 38#; Which G'd will decide? The one you borrowed from Jews?

58. The Neocons are gonna start WWIII
Sanity ,   Planet Earth   (10.22.07)
Dont you Israeli's care? Israel will be one of the first to be wiped off the map if there is a World War.
59. iran
Marilyn ,   USA   (10.22.07)
After Iraq, I'm not so trusting of government decisions on wars. I need some reassurance. One of the ways this might be achieved would be for people in the government to make personal, large monetary contributions for any wars that are seen as preventative and necessary. While not as good as them actually serving in a war, it still fulfills a leadership role.
60. #48, no just stupid and pointless
Danny   (10.22.07)
like pretty much everything you have to say. So the NYT and ynet - who probably just lifted this piece direct from NYT - are "hiding" the true place cheny gave his talk. Didn't do a good job if even a dumbarse like you saw through it. PS was interesting to flick through the footnotes of W&M's book and see how heavily they [apparently] rely on Benny Morris given Morris's has repeated and vocally accussed them of misquoting him and lying. They may have many qualities but a sense of shame isn't one of them....
