With AS we would suspect low IQ. With PT it might be high IQ if he has an agenda that benefits when false claims are believed by the masses....

>>>In a scan of posts here, I see that PartyTime believes the AS Cheney/Hal lie. <<< What specifically are you writing that I believe? Fact of the matter is I've long held criticism for HAL, KBR in particular. I never liked the fact KBR took army cooks out of a job! And this was well before the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.

Cheney still has 433,000 HAL options and a six figure HAL salary coming in. I see he has pledged the "proceeds" of the options to charity, only doing so after getting caught holding them and lying about it, but so far I don't believe he has given those charities a dime. Has he? Until he actually gives the options away to charity, he continues making millions on paper off HAL's huge no-bid contarcts and gouging of tax-payers. Also remember, he can un-pledge those proceeds later and/or use any gifts as a tax write-off once he leaves office and collects the 100 million that's probably waiting for him back at his company. In many ways, Cheney has never stopped being the CEO of Halliburton. Other black marks on Cheney's CEO record are that HAL was guilty of accounting fraud on his watch, and that HAL formed a subsidiary to illegally do business with Iran. HAL is also reported to keep a lot of its money offshore to keep from paying US taxes. But the worst things Cheney has done have been to lie to us to push us into war unprepared, and to assist ant encourage the rampant energy gouging which started the day after he was officially picked as VP.
