I don't dislike Cheney either. In fact I always hoped that he'd run for President in 1996 but the bum ticker concerned people. So if you hate Bush and Cheney because of Greed then you HAVE TO dislike France even more. They said screw the US, UN and the Globe for their own financial gain. The reason I said that is because many Democrats dislike him because they think he's a greed monger. Well, even though I don't feel the same way, any REAL American has to look at France the same way as they screwed the UN resolution (and as a result the US) for their own gain. We can fight all day and vote for different people but at the end of the day we're all Americans first! I'm no flag-waver but when a country goes out of its way to cheat the system and hurt US interests ALL AMERICANS should fight back with their wallets regardless of party affiliation.

No, Halliburton gets its contracts because of Cheney and it's outrageously strong connections at the Pentagon and White House. They have a long record of cheating tax-payers out of millions and ought to be presecuted. There is nothing innocent of fair about the Halliburton situation. Cheney just doesn't give a damn what you think. There are plenty of companies that can do what Halliburton does, in fact most of their work is out-sourced to other companies and they double-bill tax-payers for it. What they're doing in Iraq could cost 90% less if there wasn't so much corruption in place. The stories I've heard are outrageous.

<I don't dislike Chaney at all. Halliburton got the contracts because they are the only US company I know of with the connections, manpower, and means to get the job done in a war zone.> Is that also why they were awarded a no bid contract to build the prisons in Guantanamo?
