You approve of Cheney dealing with Iraq? You condone that behavior? Defend it? And why di he blatantly lie about it on the campaign trail? You condone lies? Of course all politicians have to lie sometimes but Bush ran on a promise to be honest. LOL.

Mike it looks to me that this has as in a tizzy. I wonder why? From the article.... `Halliburton and Ingersoll-Rand, as far as I know, had no official policy about that, other than we would be in compliance with applicable U.S. and international laws,'' former Ingersoll executive Cleive Dumas was quoted as saying. Dumas oversaw Ingersoll Dresser Pump's business in the Middle East, including Iraq. Such trade did not violate U.S. law as long as it occurred within the 1996 U.N.-supervised program that permits Iraq to export oil under to pay for food, medicine and humanitarian goods. In 1998, the oil-for-food program was expanded to allow Baghdad to import spare parts for its oil facilities. Well following the law always puts vacant liberal minds in a frenzy. tom watson tosiwmee
