He is, he was in the oil business from long ago. He knows what he's doing, even before he was president he knew what he was doing.
I reckon that he currently has someone to do his bidding for him, because several sources have mentioned oil in the past three to four years.From: Famous Texans
On June 22, 1990, George Jr. sold two-thirds of his Harken stock for $848,560-a cool 200 percent profit. The move was well timed. One week after Junior sold his stock, Harken announced a $23.2 million loss in quarterly earnings and Harken stock dropped sharply, losing 60 percent of its value over the next six months. On August 2, 1990, Iraqi troops moved into Kuwait and 541,000 U.S. forces were deployed to the Gulf.
"There is substantial evidence to suggest that Bush knew Harken was in dire straits in the weeks before he sold the $848,560 of Harken stock," asserted U.S. News & World Report. The magazine noted Harken appointed Junior to a 'fairness committee' to study possible economic restructuring of the company. Junior worked closely with financial advisers from Smith Barney, Harris Upham & Company, who concluded "only drastic action could save Harken."
i have to say i wasn't entirely sure if man was being serious or not. the rest of the post made little sense and it was an ill advised joke in such a serious context. i wouldn't say blackrave has his fist up his ass when he posts, he is a very intelligent guy, with way better english than 90% of the brits and americans here.
I've "been over it" all the time. I'm not the one who made a big deal out of it. I simply called Man an idiot, because he is after posting that post. If I'm one of the slower users, then so are definitely you, too.
Please read what Man said once more:
I do not support the war on Iraq, or but what i do support is american soilders raping and killing women and chlidren ! because whats a war without war crimes. There are accually soilders in iraq going f**King crazy because of the $#@! that goes on there. and that my friends is a bad thing ! i cant do much, but stephen harper is like the presidents best friend, so i say kill goerge bush, maybe, but still its not like corporate amerika will let this war end anytime soon.
He's mixing sarcasm and his true opinions way too much to make out that anything of it is sarcasm. Man, what you said after the thing about killing and raping, that is your opinion, right? This is just stupid.
It was actually one of the most intelligent and greatest guys here on the forums that brought that post up in the IRC channel yesterday, and it seemed to me as he understood the post as serious, too. He even said it was time to lock the thread. So don't go and call me retarded and/or similar.
Thanks, gdf. It's really nice of you. You're definitely one of the smarter guys here.![]()
I support the troops, but id rather see them home in canada, but i dont agree with what some people are doing in iraq, there are things going on that dont really get alot of media attention, ie. i was looking through my local newspaper, and saw a really small article about three american solders that $#@!d a daughter and mother in front of the rest of the family, then killed the whole family, for no reason at all. and they were sent home, but that didnt make big news, at least as far as i know, stuff over there is bad.
PS. no sarcasm was used in the above paragraph, im MAN and i aprove this message.
