I'll humour you since I'm not sure if you're taking the piss or not:

Dick Cheney was CEO of Halliburton and still receives cash from them in the form of deferred compensation and stocks. Dick Cheney is vice president of the United States of America and a chief supporter of the war in Iraq. Halliburton is a major contractor in Iraq grabbing $billions in "no bid" contracts from the government.
As I said, draw your own conclusions.....

Great, more politics. JUST what NSC needs.

Maybe Bozza should rename this site North Stand Politics. No, wait.....

I know that I can't see why the amount of deaths affects there stock price ??

The author is drawing a comparison between the two, to show how DC's cash is being made for him by the sacrifices of their brave boys. I.e. the profits are being bought through American blood.

In Britain, it would be more likely to see a cartoon showing Iraqi dead, not American, but the concept is the same.

Interesting to see Looney avoided this thread!

Well, probably. However, you could argue that without the invasion of Iraq, the profits wouldn't have gone up so much, and so the money has been bought in this way.

Lies, damn lies and statistics!

 

[m20gull]

As usual, a good point made with poor statistics. If you cut the graph at the beginning of the conflict then the price is around $21 which is therefore only a 50% increase, not 150%. Also the cut-off of the graph with starting at $10 instead of zero again amplifies the increase when viewed proportionately.

Does anyone know if $30 is historically high for Halliburton? What was it before the market decline after 9/11, for instance?

And am I the only one encouraged by the obvious decline in the trend of US deaths over the last 6 months?

I dont know what you mean, apart from a brief increase in April (to 135), havn't the monthly figures been fairly even, and I believe August was very high (66) with this month only 9 days old and 27 being killed already.

Try this if you are really interested:

A bright lad but must apply himself a bit more in the coming term.

Lets open a Vegas style theme park in Baghdad!

 

[BUTTERBALL]

The MGM hotel, it could be built in the shape of a giant sword, or how about the Sadam Casino, where all the colours on the roulette wheel are black, but you can only bet on red.

They could also have Safari days to the outskirts in armed tanks.

WOW, what a tourist opportunity
