Under Cheney's rule at Halliburton -- and don't let the denials fool you -- Halliburton arranged to open a sleazy little putative office in Tehran to help the Ayatollahs produce more oil and to prepare to annihilate their enemies -- including Israel. Their offices are hidden behind vaguely marked doors on the ninth and tenth floors of an office tower is downtown Tehran. Their advertising for the Ayatollahs includes this statement: "...[T]he company has performed oil-drilling services on two offshore drilling contracts in the Iranian sector of the Persian Gulf. One is the Sirri field, being developed by France's TotalFinaElf SA, and the other is Phase 1 of the South Pars field, being developed by an Iranian company.... We are committed to position ourselves in a market that offers huge growth potential." What a crock. What is the Iranian "Sector" of the Persian Gulf? Does that make these freaky big drilling towers "non-inclusive" under those laws that control US companies doing business in Iran? Of course not! But Halliburton, like many U.S. corporations driven by greed and avarice alone, would help anyone -- including Iraq -- if the money was right. And RIGHT means if it's in cash. Rather than moving into Iran openly, Cheney plotted to move the company into Iran through a Halliburton-owned Cayman Islands company. Hey Dick, you swine, when is the last time that Halliburton helped strike oil in the Caymans? Or did you incorporate as "Halliburton Products and Services Ltd Cayman Islands" just to rob the American public of lawful income taxes your company owed it? Or was the primary reason to facilitate doing business in places you aren't supposed to -- under that oh-so-sacred RULE OF LAW?
