look. I glad this forum exists so all the lefties can explain how the whole Iraq thing was just to pay back Cheney's chits to Haliburton. At first I had reservations, I admit.
"Why would a guy who had both houses of congress fake a need for a war. Where's the percentage in running the risk?"
But then Ty and them explained it all, and so I understood why it made sense to move 300K men so to increase some companies profits.
but then I see shit like this:

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Pentagon auditors found a Halliburton Co. subsidiary gave faulty cost estimates on a $2.7 billion contract to serve American troops in Iraq and Kuwait, and company officials acknowledged making mistakes, Defense Department documents show.
The estimate problems included a failure to tell contract managers that Halliburton had terminated two subcontracts for feeding troops, which affected costs on $1 billion worth of that work, the Defense Contract Audit Agency found.

The pricing issue is just one of several problems with Halliburton contracts in Iraq. Both the Pentagon and Justice Department have launched criminal investigations of the company, formerly headed by Vice President Dick Cheney.

Now if I was a company prez and I knew the US had started awhole war just to make my company some money, I have to admit, I wouldn't warn my accountants to sharpen their pencils.
WTF? Are we fighting over there for Halliburton or not? Or is this part of a fake reprimand, sort of a way to be able to deny we gave it the keys to the budget? Ty?
