Nope. Paranoia suggests irrational beleifs based on dleusion or imagination, not facts. Halliburton's, amongst other companies with interests to profit from war, close ties to the government are factual, obvious, and a case of public record. Also a matter of public record is the alleged and actual gross fraud and mismanagment that has been commited on my taxpaying dime by Haliburton. Its my dime so I have a right and a responsibility to be skeptical and call for accountability. To gloss over such serious fiscal mismanagemnt is irresponsible. Do so at your own peril.

Who should be held accountable for letting Hussein perpetrate the atrocities he committed during his reign? Who should be held accountable for working with him to embezzle billions of dollars from the oil-for-food program? [/QB]

How is this relevant to the rush to war and poorly planned and executed occupation? It is not. Pointing out Saddam's Husseins' documented and alleged wickedness does not cover the failures of Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, Bremmer, and the rest of the gang, nor excuse them one little bit. The war is just one facet of the fiscal incompetence Bush and Congress has shown in the last four years with even more on the horizon.
Sorry the standard neo-con Bush supporter apologetics have grown old and worn out. You'll have to try a new schitck to impress or sway me.
