A brief history of Cheney - there is a traitorous criminal STILL COMMITTING CRIMES - CALL 911!!!
Edited on Sun Jun-24-07 06:56 AM by burythehatchet
1992

Halliburton subsidiary Brown & Root is paid $9 million by the Pentagon (under Cheney's direction as Secretary of Defense) to produce a classified report detailing how private companies (like itself) could provide logistical support for American troops in potential war zones around the world.

1995

Without any previous business experience, Cheney leaves the Department of Defense to become the CEO of Halliburton Co., one of the biggest oil-services companies in the world. He will be chairman of the company from 1996 to October 1998 and from February to August 2000. Under Cheney's leadership, Halliburton moves up from 73rd to 18th on the Pentagon's list of top contractors. The company garners $2.3 billion in U.S. government contracts, which almost doubles the $1.2 billion it earned from the government previously. Most of the contracts are granted by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers.

Years later, during the 2000 campaign in a broadcasted vice presidential candidates' debate with Joe Lieberman, Cheney asserts that "the government has absolutely nothing to do" with his financial success as chairman of Halliburton Co

1997

Cheney contributes to the creation of an influential right-wing policy group called the Project for the New American Century (PNAC)

March: The Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), a U.S. government agency, helps Halliburton by providing "political risk insurance" worth up to $200 million for the development of natural gas in Bangladesh

Cheney appears in an Arthur Andersen promotional video praising the firm's accounting practices, saying: "I get good advice, if you will, from their people , based upon how we are doing business and how we are operating, over and above the normal, by-the-books auditing arrangement".15 KBR is later investigated by the SEC for accounting fraud - in a case similar to the charges leveled against Anderson's other client, Enron.

1998

Cheney oversees Halliburton's merger with Dresser Industries, one of the companies that helped Saddam Hussein rebuild Iraq's oil infrastructure after the First Gulf War, folks - this is why cheney purchased Dresser, because hw wanted to get back control of the records from their deals with Iraq despite economic sanctions against Iraq. Dresser also had faced major liability issues concerning asbestos which prove to be onerous for the company's financial health

1. and all along I thought that Cheney* was an idiot because he
assumed the asbestos liability for Haliburton. He's a sly guy. And he doesn't operate in daylight! There is not enough power in the World to satisfy this maniac.

2. Cheney took Cipro
Dick Cheney started taking the anti-anthrax drug Cipro one week before the first anthrax attack took place and 3 weeks before it first appeared at Capitol Hill at the offices of the senators most vocal in their opposition to the Patriot Act.
