Dunno how much he received for 2005 since they haven't released his tax filings yet.  According to the White House, in 2004 he received $194,852 in deferred compensation from Halliburton (money he agreed to be paid as part of his salary when he was CEO but after he had resigned as CEO).

Peace and Love? Are you serious? We are there for the MONEY and nothing else...wake up! Does the name Halliburton ring any bells? We are in the business of EXPLOITATION not peace and love and brotherhood and all that nonsense. We practice WAR corporatism, and we are damned GOOD at it.

The Army Corps of Engineers has awarded a contract worth up to $385 million for building temporary immigration detention centers to Kellogg Brown & Root, the Halliburton subsidiary that has been criticized for overcharging the Pentagon for its work in Iraq.\n\nKBR would build the centers for the Homeland Security Department for an unexpected influx of immigrants, to house people in the event of a natural disaster or for new programs that require additional detention space, company executives said. KBR, which announced the contract last month, had a similar contract with immigration agencies from 2000 to last year.\n\nThe contract with the Corps of Engineers runs one year, with four optional one-year extensions. Officials of the corps said that they had solicited bids and that KBR was the lone responder.\n\nA spokeswoman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Jamie Zuieback, said KBR would build the centers only in an emergency like the one when thousands of Cubans floated on rafts to the United States. She emphasized that the centers might never be built if such an emergency did not arise.\n\n"It's the type of contract that could be used in some kind of mass migration," Ms. Zuieback said.\n\nA spokesman for the corps, Clayton Church, said that the centers could be at unused military sites or temporary structures and that each one would hold up to 5,000 people.\n\n"When there's a large influx of people into the United States, how are we going to feed, house and protect them?" Mr. Church asked. "That's why these kinds of contracts are there."\n\nMr. Church said that KBR did not end up creating immigration centers under its previous contract, but that it did build temporary shelters for Hurricane Katrina evacuees.\n\nFederal auditors rebuked the company for unsubstantiated billing in its Iraq reconstruction contracts, and it has been criticized because of accusations that Halliburton, led by Dick Cheney before he became vice president, was aided by connections in obtaining contracts. Halliburton executives denied that they charged excessively for the work in Iraq.\n\nMr. Church said concerns about the Iraq contracts did not affect the awarding of the new contract.\n\nRepresentative Henry A. Waxman, Democrat of California, who has monitored the company, called the contract worrisome.\n\n"With Halliburton's ever expanding track record of overcharging, it's hard to believe that the administration has decided to entrust Halliburton with even more taxpayer dollars," Mr. Waxman said. "With each new contract, the need for real oversight grows."\n\nIn recent months, the Homeland Security Department has promised to increase bed space in its detention centers to hold thousands of illegal immigrants awaiting deportation. In the first quarter of the 2006 fiscal year, nearly 60 percent of the illegal immigrants apprehended from countries other than Mexico were released on their own recognizance.\n\nDomestic security officials have promised to end the releases by increasing the number of detention beds. Last week, domestic security officials announced that they would expand detaining and swiftly deporting illegal immigrants to include those seized near the Canadian border.\n\nAdvocates for immigrants said they feared that the new contract was another indication that the government planned to expand the detention of illegal immigrants, including those seeking asylum.\n\n"It's pretty obvious that the intent of the government is to detain more and more people and to expedite their removal," said Cheryl Little, executive director of the Florida Immigrant Advocacy Center in Miami.\n\nMs. Zuieback said the KBR contract was not intended for that.\n\n"It's not part of any day-to-day enforcement," she said.\n\nShe added that she could not provide additional information about the company's statement that the contract was also meant to support the rapi

The war in Iraq itself is costing about $6 billion dollars a month. As of a few months back I think Congress had approved close to $200 billion dollars for the war.\n\nIn 2003 the initial estimate by the Bush administration was $60 billion. Just a little off...

They should put it on pay per view for $250. Millions of people around the globe would watch. The Iraqi government could use that money to train and equip their troops, opening the way for U.S. troops to leave.

Money. Cheney is still getting money from Halliburton. Bush's father works for the Carlyle Group, which owns quite a few defense contractors. In 2004, defense contractors donated $16,326,213 to candidates, 37% to democrats and 63% to republicans. In 2004, Halliburton donated $221,249 to candidates, 13% to democrats and 87% to republicans. Remember Randy "Duke" Cunningham? The Carlyle Group was his #1 campaign contributor, $78,040 since 1989, followed by Northrop Grumman ($74,250), Lockheed Martin ($74,219), and General Dynamics ($69,575), all defense contractors. \n\nCampaign contributions that large are not given without "strings attached".

Freedom of speech is legal in America.  Strange how the CEO of Haliburton (VP Cheeney) stepped down.  Large overseas contracts used to go to Bectal Corp, however since the government said they would rebuild Iraq, Haliburton got the contracts and the U.S. blew up a lot of building. Thus creating a lot of work for Haliburton.   Sound fishy???   Not to mention Cheeney's gross income for 2005 was over 8 million dollars.

Cheney sold all his Halliburton stock before becoming Vice President.  I am sure he still has "friends" and ties that work for Halliburton, but after running the company, how could you NOT know the people that are running it know?\n\nMaybe Cheney and Clinton were in bed together when the No Bid contracts to Halliburton were set in place?\n\nAs of 2004, the largest increase for Halliburton's revenue came during the Clinton years when we were rebuilding the Balkans.

Halliburton is the one to seek for over seas jobs.

The United Nations was sending weapons inspectors to Iraq because they resolved that they didn't want Iraq to manufacture chemical and biological weapons.  When the inspectors got serious into their work, Iraqi scientists were locking them out of compounds and not allowing them access for long periods of time.  They were also refusing to turn over paperwork.  Meantime, they were violating the U.N. no-fly zone.  Finally, Saddam shut out the inspectors altogether.  The United Nations authorized use of force to make them comply, but Russia, China, North Korea, Germany, and France seem to be allies with Iraq, so they opposed any action.  England and the United States took forefront in the action and invaded Iraq with the intention of taking Saddam out of power.\n\nBe careful about political propoganda, rhetoric, etc., that you will get for answers.  This is the most neutral answer you will probably get.  No, we did not go for oil.  Do you see oil prices going down?  Where is this oil?  They did it for Halliburton?  Halliburton can get as many contracts as they want, and this one is a dangerous contract.  There are just very few corporations that have the resources for such big operations.  Do you see Halliburton stock going up?  When I checked on the internet, it wasn't doing well when all this was happening.  Are Americans imperialists?  No--if you look at history, we are the least imperialistic out of the powerful nations (the industrial revolution, WWI, WWII).\nIt is not because Mr. Bush is a lower primate.  He was accepted to an Ivy League college and made good grades (did as well as Clinton).

given the wages in Mexico, probably even their army would end up crossing the border for higher pay.  This is all a  smoke screen.  Halliburton, Cheney's company has the border contract, so he has no motivation for this problem to go away.  Follow the money!
