When Dick Cheney was chief executive of Halliburton in the 1990s, he urged Congress to ease sanctions against Iran and enter into diplomatic discussions with the country's leaders so the oil-field services company could legally do business there.

    Cheney is a greedy profiteer without loyalty to the nation.

    He should be tried for war crimes, obstruction of justice, and treason.

      He's guilty of treason. How did he ever get elected?

      Did they have help from the intelligence services in electronic voter fraud?

              If it's good for Halliburton, it's good for the US, no?

              Or do I mean, good for Cheney?

              What a guy!

              And what ever happened to tar and feathering? For starters....

                I'm always amazed at the Republicans and when you look into their stand its always the case they were for it before they were against it. After the next election when Obama begins the process of looking into the corruption and treason of the Biush administration watch these clowns flee the country to avoid prosecution. Bush to South America to be with his familys NAZI friends.

                  An ex-president forced to flee his own land, (like a tinpot dictator of old, of some banana republic), I like the image, dunkirk, but I still can see this odious assemblage of self-aggrandising profiteers escaping any kind of retribution by whatever means it takes, come next January.

                  Wow. Cheney said "we seem to be sanction-happy." That's a whole lot better than bomb-happy.

                  Maybe there's an argument to be made that the profiteers and chickenhawks might listen to, that doing to Iran what we've done to Iraq might be detrimental to Halliburton's business interests.

                    Umm. Halliburton has made Millions in Iraq. Billions? While providing our soldiers with polluted drinking water (in a desert), unsafe barracks, and foul latrines.

                    Iran? Let the gravy train roll!

                    Invading Iran would be great for halliburton. After everything is destroyed Halliburton will get a fat contract to use US taxpayer money to rebuild. War is good for the neocon elite but horrible for regular people.

                  cheney is the biggest hypocirte of them all. besides this fiasco, he was meeting with the taliban a mere six months before 911 trying to seal the deal on a trans-afghan pipeline (which now exists, btw. go figure.)

                  the guy is totally amoral.

                  and now you've got McSame's top advisors practicing the same amoral behavior.

                    The Bush admin gave the Taliban $43M of our money in the spring of 2001 for being so `humanitarian`. Yeah, the same Taliban that killed people in the street, raped women, stoned people to death and otherwised terrorized the population into the stone age.

                    Some people believed that the $43M was a bribe to get the Taliban to give in on the pipeline, but the Bush admin say no, it`s a reward for the humanitarian improvements made by the Taliban. That set the record straight on that.

                    I wonder if they ever figured out if any of Bush`s bribe went to the 9/11 planners or attackers.
