Who in the flying fuck is "WE" Pickens????
The other day someone posted the latest comments by this oil pirate T. Boone Pickens regarding the oil gusher. I was so pissed off I forgot where the post is, but know he is usually invested in the schemes he concocts before he goes public. This motherfucker should have his goddamn head on a gibbet. Back in Oct. 2009, this slimey piece of shit had the audacity, to talk about how WE fought for the fucking oil in Iraq and how WE?/Oil companies are "entitled" to some of Iraq's crude.

Who in the fuck is WE motherfucker!!

How come WE becomes a much smaller and select group when WE transition from fighting to profiting from the fucking war??? You weren't a part of WE when it came to fighting the goddamn war, you gutless greedy Chickenhawk!! At least Blackbeard the pirate risked his own ass in going after the booty and knew the consequences of holding out shares. And you certainly don't pony up to pay for the shattered lives you greedy fucking bloodsuckers destroy in the process of enriching yourselves. WE never decided to go to war. Bush did! Our foreign policy was hijacked by you rotten bastards!
Answer me that one you motherfucker, tell me who WE is again!!

I'd like five fucking minutes with that son-of-a-bitch!

Somebody asked me why I'm not smiling anymore. Being in a world where these kind of people are given a public airing of their views, while those who served in the military and don't tow the official line (I am one) are largely resigned to backwater websites.
I will smile when I see their heads on gibbets.



Pickens says U.S. firms 'entitled' to Iraqi oil

By Tom Doggett

WASHINGTON Oct 21 (Reuters) - Oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens told Congress on Wednesday that U.S. energy companies are "entitled" to some of Iraq's crude because of the large number of American troops that lost their lives fighting in the country and the U.S. taxpayer money spent in Iraq.

Boone, speaking to the newly formed Congressional Natural Gas Caucus, complained that the Iraqi government has awarded contracts to foreign companies, particularly Chinese firms, to develop Iraq's vast reserves while American companies have mostly been shut out.

"They're opening them (oil fields) up to other companies all over the world ... We're entitled to it," Pickens said of Iraq's oil. "Heck, we even lost 5,000 of our people, 65,000 injured and a trillion, five hundred billion dollars."

President Barack Obama has pledged to withdraw U.S. troops in Iraq....more

3. I thought the oil in Iraq had already been divided up and "given" to
four firms. Is my memory faulty?

In response to your post, does it ever occur to "these people" that the oil belongs to the citizens of the country? Frightening. They think they own the world.

5. Damn good point! Not only does his Oct statements reveal
the true motives of these bastards, but how they view the world. Most of us know how they view the world, but it is real good to hear them say it.

6. The imperialist WE.
But somehow the 'we' disappears when it comes time to blame oil pushers when it comes time to blame someone for disasters like the BP gusher.
