To be fair, didn't Cheney have to divest all his stocks (at huge personal cost), when he ran for office? There is nothing fair about the argument from the left that it is all about oil," and that this administration is moving on the ME to make a buck for themselves and their buddies, Jacob. You can look forward to post after post saying that Carlyle, Halliburton, and other Oil companies--nudge, nudge, wink, wink--are making a buck from the Iraqi Liberation.

didn't Cheney have to divest all his stocks ... when he ran for office? I'm not sure he HAD to. I say that on the basis, that when Dave Packard (of H-P fame) held a government position, (I believe Deputy Secretary of Defense), he resigned from H-P, and put all his stocks into a blind trust that he did not have any influence/control over. EDIT : the earnings/profits from that trust/fund were also to be donated to charity. Page 174-176 of "The HP Way" by Dave Packard.
