500,000 Syria supporters rally in Lebanon
Halliburton operates in Iran despite sanctions It's just another Halliburton oil and gas operation. The company name is emblazoned everywhere: On trucks, equipment, large storage silos and workers' uniforms. But this isn't Texas. It's Iran. U.S. companies aren't supposed to do business here. Yet, in January, Halliburton won a contract to drill at a huge Iranian gas field called Pars, which an Iranian government spokesman said "served the interests" of Iran.
Israeli firm wins US weapons contract in Iraq Israeli company Palsen Sasa has won a contract to armour US military vehicles in Iraq, company sources said Tuesday.
War is Peace In Bushzarro world, where up is down and logic is irrational, Bush nominates a man as ambassador to the United Nations who believes there is no United Nations.

According to CNN, unnamed U.S. officials have branded the charge of Venezuela’s president, Hugo Chavez, that the U.S. government plans to oust him from office through assassination as “ridiculous.” Ridiculous? Maybe those particular unnamed U.S. officials aren’t familiar with a government organization known as the Central Intelligence Agency, or the CIA. Its job is “regime change,” even through assassination, especially with respect to foreign leaders who refuse to toe the official U.S. government line and do what they’re ordered to do.
