Ok so it's a purely Business decision that Halliburton got the contract and it is only a detail that the Vice President is part of that Company, but it sure seems like a very handy situation for Mr Cheney to find himself in...Country needs rebuilding and he part of a Company that could do the Job and part of the Administration that invaded the Country therefore requiring said Country to be rebuilt!!!! Now that's handy eh! I did see the 60 Minutes you mentioned Kendall and I found the FACTS very distrubing but then I find a lot of the FACTS about this Administration distrubing and IF I was a Conservative even a Moderate one and slightly blinded by my Loyalty, I would still be very uncomfortable with a lot of things that are coming to light here. As for people of Certain age having to be careful when they talk about Miltary Careers and Drugs.....why.....in my opinion when you put yourself forward for one of the most Powerful Jobs in the World and when the People that Interview you are the Citizens of the Country you wish to lead, it is not the People's past activities that are in question. I personally think that on a Moral basis, there should be no Financial Ties to Goverment Contracts and Members of the Administration in Office at the time. That is an abuse of Power, pure and simple. It's the Administration of the President of The United States here, not a Good Old Boy's Club with the Contracts going to your Buddies!
