RE:the W administration is fucking the US

You're a stupid fuck.

But why, in this instance, didn't the Democrats stomp and scream about Cheney's Iraq connection? The
Gore campaign undoubtedly knew of Halliburton's smarmy business dealings from the get-go.


Gore and Lieberman could have made hay about how the wannabe GOP veep had been in cahoots with
Saddam. Such explosive revelations may well have swayed voters and boosted Gore's chances in what
was shaping up to be a close electoral contest.

The Democratic standard-bearers dropped the ball in part because Halliburton's conduct was generally
in accordance with the foreign policy of the Clinton administration.
Cheney is certainly not the only
Washington mover and shaker to have been affiliated with a company trading in Iraq. Former CIA Director
John Deutsch, who served in a Democratic administration, is a member of the board of directors of
Schlumberger, the second-largest U.S. oil-services company, which also does business through
subsidiaries in Iraq.
