Oh, yeah, Bush and Cheney are just rolling in spoils and booty from Iraq. That must be the reason. I sincerely do not believe Bush or Cheney invaded Iraq for personal gain. I have no doubt they are patriotic. Their reasons for invading Iraq are goofy, but patriotic. Compound the goofy reasoning for invading Iraq with Mr. Bush's incompetence there in lies tragedy. After almost 5 and a half years later, the overwhelming majority of the American people recognise just how incompetent George W. Bush really is. We should have seen it sooner. The damage has been done. Nontheless, Cheney received a $50mm cash severance when he left Haliburton to run for office, he kept Haliburton stock options in a blind trust. I have no doubt Cheney would have followed the same course of action with or without those Haliburton stock options, but for whatever patriotic reasons you can come up with to give Haliburton very large no bid contracts, keeping those stock options stinks.
