HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh you are a card.... a misinformed one but a card none the less!

Halliburton Won’t Back Off Doing Biz In Iran, Despite NYC Pension Funds Concerns of Terrorism
by Jason Leopold

Halliburton Corp., the oil field services company once headed by Vice President Dick Cheney, told the New York City Comptroller’s office Monday that it won’t scale back its business dealings in Iran, despite concerns from the City’s Comptroller William Thompson about “corporate ties to states sponsoring terrorist activity,” which could force the New York City’s Police and Fire Departments to pull its $23 million investment in the company.

The Comptroller’s office, on behalf of the New York City Police and Fire Department pension funds, in a resolution last March urged the boards of directors of Halliburton and General Electric and ConocoPhillips to set up committees to review its operations in terror-linked countries, specifically Iran. Halliburton helps build drilling rigs in Iran's southern oil field.

Ooops they support terrorism and actually funded some of the 9/11 hijackers training!

Do you want more or do you just concede that you lost another rebellion my boy?


As to child labor being around before free trade...your correct my boy it was. However, free trade has increased the problem ten fold accordint to several studies.....look it up.
More commondreams! Curious, do you have any opinions or do you pretty much just log into the left wing websites and find out your opinion du jour?

1) Your "link" (my apologies to all you real links out there) mentions nothing of child labor
2) There is nothing about training hijackers, although something from commondreams certainly wouldn't surprise me
3) Were these studies conducted by Mother Jones? Commondreams?

Hit me up when you can link something the normal people read.
