WASHINGTON ? A lawsuit filed in federal court on Tuesday contends that major American corporations doing business with the Iraqi government during the Iraq War also provided it with free drugs and medical devices that became an important source of funding for a Shiite militia that targeted United States troops. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of members of the American military who were injured or killed by attacks between 2005 and 2009, at the height of the Iraq War. It accuses five companies ? American firms General Electric, Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer and European drugmakers AstraZeneca and Roche Holding A.G. ? of winning contracts to sell their products to the Iraqi Ministry of Health with the understanding that they also provide additional medical supplies and medicines for free. |
All give big money to Congress. Are all those congressmen going to return their political donations like they expect Hillary to do with Weinstein?

use for force to achieve political goals is terrorism...when the USA invaded iraq over politics (cough cough oil) and lies, it was by definition terrorism...
all US companies fund terrorism through tax...it goes to USIS... I do not understand how these companies are different and why they are being singled out? :error |

I read an article about this last night and didn't understand it. It seems three large medical companies sold medical supplies to Iraq.... What happened then had nothing to do with the three medical companies. There is a lot of corruption in the Iraqi government, and yes, most likely some of those supplies were sold or given to terrorist groups, and or sold to provide money to terrorist groups. You can say this about any product ever sold to a Middle Eastern country.

Even if they lose, they will end up paying a small % of the profit they made!
It's the American way! |

In 2001 year: U.S. officials said the plane was downed by an SA-5 surface-to-air missile fired from a shore battery during the largest scale Ukrainian military exercises in some years. The plane started its journey in Tel Aviv, Israel, bound for Novisibersk, Russia. Officials in Israel and Russia said they feared the crash could have been caused by terrorists. An Armenian pilot flying in the vicinity said he saw the plane explode in midair. Ukraine denies its missile involved Kostyntun Khivlemko, a spokesman for the Ukrainian Defense Ministry in Kiev, denied the plane was shot down by a Ukrainian missile. He said the missiles being used had a range of only10 kilometers, and the plane was more than 300 kilometers away. Jane's Defence said an SA-5 has a range of 300 kilometers (186 miles) Russian President Vladimir Putin also said he doubted whether Ukrainian missiles would have had the range to hit the plane. Nevertheless, U.S. officials said they had "convincing" indications the plane was hit by a Ukrainian SA-5 missile. CNN.com - Sources: Ukrainian missile downed Russian jet - October 4, 2001 |
