He is a puppet for Halliburton (vice pres Dick Cheney's company) and the oil industry.  But he's actually doing a great job of it.  The price of Halliburton's shares have jumped from $20 to $80 in the last 3 years.  So he may look like an idiot, but he and the people behind him have become very wealthy. By looking stupid, people don't realize what he's really up to.  He wants the war to go on, and he wants oil prices to stay high - it is in his own personal interest.

Great question! Those who answered hypocracy were right on target. \nWasting 42 million dollars on an investigation that turned up nothing but a private affair was a huge waste. It wasn't near as wasteful as the billions spent on a useless war. Could you imagine what a 42 million dollar investigation would turn up if we investigated Bush's business deals with the energy cartel?\nWhen Clinton lied, nobody died.

heartwarming stories from home are hardly ever in the news, You might as well hang it up that a liberal media outlet will report anything positive from Iraq. That would go against their anti-bush anti-war agenda. Notice the almost non-existent coverage of the sarin and mustard gas that was discovered in Iraq? anyone who reported it implied that since it was expired it was safer than johnson's baby shampoo and doesn't count as WMD's.

Cheney will never turn over his notes, or appear before Congress; he thinks he is above us all. I think we all know what they would find; the selling of the American people down the river of oil. Old Kennyboy didn't even get a eulogy from his old pals at the White House. Anyway, it should be fun watching the thieves squirm a little bit, and spend big money on their lawyers, but I'm sure there will be plenty left in their offshore accounts, that's the real tax cut. Great question!

HAHAHA....  yeah... Cheney has just worked four times harder than our lazy president... geez why doesn't he get off his butt and make a decent living... and it's all been only because of his hard work... it has nothing to do with the HUGE rise in Halliburton stock that has made him tens of millions over the past 6 years...

Here's the sad story of poor ol' Neil:\n\nThe US Office of Thrift Supervision investigated the failure of Silverado and determined that Bush had engaged in numerous "breaches of his fiduciary duties involving multiple conflicts of interest." Although Bush was not indicted on criminal charges, a civil action was brought against him and the other Silverado directors by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; it was eventually settled out of court, with Bush paying $50,000 as part of the settlement, as reported in the Style section of the Washington Post [3].\n\nWHAT! The "STYLE" Section of the Washington Post reported it? $50k - I guess that'll buy a lot of chinz...

They hardly pay any taxes at all. Dick Cheney got a 1.9 million dollar tax return from 05 this year. That is also a crime and over the compensation limits to be in the presidency. A tax return is clearly stated as income on the IRS's 1040's.

No shame indeed.\n\nLook at this quote, from Mr. Halliburton : \n\nVice President Dick Cheney, in remarks that caused a stir in neighboring Russia, accused President Vladimir Putin today of restricting the rights of citizens and said that "no legitimate interest is served" by turning energy resources into implements of blackmail. (http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/3840352.html)\n\n"from religion and the news media to advocacy groups and political parties, the government has unfairly and improperly restricted the rights of the people."...says guy who got re-elected due to the Religious Right, and who pushed for passage of the Patriot Act among other "restrictive" laws.\n\nAND WAIT FOR THE KILLER QUOTE : "And no one can justify actions that undermine the territorial integrity of a neighbor, or interfere with democratic movements." Yes, real quote. I kid you not.\n\no_o!

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW A LITTLE MORE ABOUT CHENEY!!!!  The success of Bush Vice Presidential running mate Richard Cheney at leading Halliburton, Inc. to a five year $3.8 billion "pig-out" on federal contracts and taxpayer-insured loans is only a partial indicator of what may happen if the Bush ticket wins in two weeks. A closer look at available research, including an August 2, 2000 report by the Center for Public Integrity (CPI) at www.public-i.org, suggests that drug money has played a role in the successes achieved by Halliburton under Cheney's tenure as CEO from 1995 to 2000. This is especially true for Halliburton's most famous subsidiary, heavy construction and oil giant, Brown and Root. A deeper look into history reveals that Brown and Root's past as well as the past of Dick Cheney himself, connect to the international drug trade on more than one occasion and in more than one way.\nThis June the lead Washington, D.C. attorney for a major Russian oil company connected in law enforcement reports to heroin smuggling and also a beneficiary of US backed loans to pay for Brown and Root contracts in Russia, held a $2.2 million fund raiser to fill the already bulging coffers of presidential candidate George W. Bush. This is not the first time that Brown and Root has been connected to drugs and the fact is that this "poster child" of American industry may also be a key player in Wall Street's efforts to maintain domination of the half trillion dollar a year global drug trade and its profits. And Dick Cheney, who has also come closer to drugs than most suspect, and who is also Halliburton's largest individual shareholder ($45.5 million), has a vested interest in seeing to it that Brown and Root's successes continue.

Bu$h Sr, defended the Saudi oil when he defended Kuwait from Iraq. Bu$h Sr. has many Saudi friends and his bussiness is oil. Cheney's bussiness is oil and government contracts to protect oil. Iraq was a Arab problem and the Saudis got Bu$h Sr. and Jr. to solve there problem. The Saudis also got the American tax payers to pay for solving a Arab problem. We need to mind our own bussiness and American tax payers have no business engaged in nation Building. Not one more American should give his life to Nation build in Iraq.

Cheney earned >$1.6 million /year as an executive at Halliburton.  Before he ran for VP he took out insurance on his value in stock options, which he received some income (~900,000) from until 2004.  As VP he earns $208,000/year.\n\nSo I would say that he didn't get into politcs for the money.

See it started back when GW sr was the vice president. Him and his buddies: Donald "the liar" rumsfield, Dick "dead eye" Cheney, etc got to together. This group made a pack, you know like blood brothers, for world domination. It starts with putting massive quantities of LSD in the the water supply so Americans don't realize they have illegally tampered with poll results in the state of Florida. This continues with the events of 9/11. Thinking they can enrage the populous into a war. Bush and his merry men come up with this WMD story which is helped along when his old good friend Saddam "the mad man" Hussein keeps throwing out the UN inspectors. So the boys realize HEY we could make mad money off this whole war thing. Dead Eye your company haliburton will get crazy contracts for construction and defense. Dad and his oil Barron's will get to make millions of dollars via the stock market and the American people with their non fuel efficient cars. Yeah that's the ticket.\nBut see not all of America drinks water, not every one was so easily fooled and most of us know the deal. \nI think it more like people who don't like \nBeing told "told you so!"\nYou want to bet on it? (and they end up losing)\nAdmitting their were GRAVELY wrong and too many Americans and Iraqis died.\nThe fact the hijackers from Saudi Arabia not Iraq.\nSo it got to be an ego thing?

I think this is what you are referring to: \n\nBERKELEY, CA — A Halliburton subsidiary has just received a $385 million contract from the Department of Homeland Security to provide "temporary detention and processing capabilities." \n\nThe contract — announced Jan. 24 by the engineering and construction firm KBR — calls for preparing for "an emergency influx of immigrants, or to support the rapid development of new programs" in the event of other emergencies, such as "a natural disaster." The release offered no details about where Halliburton was to build these facilities, or when. \n\nTo date, some newspapers have worried that open-ended provisions in the contract could lead to cost overruns, such as have occurred with KBR in Iraq. A Homeland Security spokesperson has responded that this is a "contingency contract" and that conceivably no centers might be built. But almost no paper so far has discussed the possibility that detention centers could be used to detain American citizens if the Bush administration were to declare martial law. \n\nThese are interesting times.
