tomswatson.homeip.net and theoriginal.homeip.net New entries for Friday and Today. Sat Jun 14 10:31:31 EDT 2003 Last night on Hannity and conehead, I watched an interview of John Dean. Dean goes through the"Oh shame there are no WMDs, that's impeachable skit" And of course it's not just the President, but we have to fabricate a reason to demonstrate the dishonesty of the Vice President. The current theme of the weak minded technology and systems process ignoramus is the visits to the CIA "So many times" question. Dean talks about Vice President Cheney going to the CIA often and that is unusual. Dean is a talking head lawyer who confessed to whatever in the past. Vice President Cheney is a thinking doer. He went to see the the intelligence and speak directly to the analysts because that is how you get the broader nuances. That he went often means it was important. Just because Dean only knows lawyers who were really dumb when given authority, it does not mean that all doers in authority have his inclination to work the way his associates have in the past. His comment reeks of accusation questioning the integrity of Vice President Cheney. Does anyone think John Dean has any clue about what and how a CEO and former Secretary of Defense knows. Halliburton's business is supporting huge world wide operations in remote places. Does a talking head lawyer have a clue about what that involves. Logistics planning, the cultures and security of the nations where projects are planned are all important factors in the strategic planning and estimates of earnings. This is not about making twinkies in downtown Boise Idaho. From the Biography of of Richard B. Cheney published at whitehouse.org Later, during the first term of Executive President George H.W. Bush, Cheney would serve as Secretary of Defense, in which capacity he would direct the two largest American military efforts since Vietnam: in both Panama and Iraq, US troops would take full advantage of America's behemoth arsenal of cutting-edge destructive techology to score decisive public relations victories over petty, olive-skinned despots. After the 1992 voluntary departure from office of George H.W. Bush, Cheney would enter the private sector for a number of years before becoming Vice President. Specifically, he served as CEO of Halliburton Corporation, the world's largest oilfield services and products company. There, in the interest of his future need for bipartisan cooperation, he would dispense with his longstanding contempt for government regulation and subsidies - successfully winning over $3.5 billion in federal contracts and taxpayer-insured loans on behalf of Halliburton's understandably impatient and deserving stockholders.
