Good News and Bad News For The Neo-Cons

GOOD NEWS They got a belligerent, hard-core Europhobe as the next nominee for U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. He will probably be approved by Congress and will be embarassing us for years to come. Congratulations.

BAD NEWS Halliburton gets busted for conducting business inside Iran. According to NBC, Halliburton side-stepped our sanctions against those "evil mullahs" by setting up a subsidiary in The Cayman Islands. It is actually the subsidiary doing business in Iran - not the company itself. Here's the kicker : When NBC asked to speak with compnay spokespersons, they were referred to company HQ in Texas. Nice try, assholes.
