Hahaha! You guys crack me up! Good sense of humor. Love you dudes. The original plan was that oil successfully pumped from Iraq would pay for reconstruction. It was to be a self-financing operation. Wait. Change 1: Insurgents blow up the pipelines each week. Change 2: Oil infrastructure was more hosed up (pardon the pun) than we expected so oil capacity was much lower than expected. So instead we pump in billions of dollars each week to support the reconstruction effort and provide free healthcare insurance for every Iraq (damn, we don't do that for Americans at home--WTF? Who's running this "war"). I don't understand how people, who believe in a particular ideology can support this war. It's (the policy, not individuals...no personal attacks intended) crazy.
Thanks for the breath of fresh reality!! Honestly, this whole thing about Bush and Cheney taking care of their "buddies" is silly. Clinton got hosed by equal amounts of baseless nonsense. I wouldn't take the job for any price, that's for sure. No matter what you do, you've got people thinking that you're o.k. with murder, destruction, fraud, and poverty, as long as you're getting fat in the process. And you just sit in your office with all your big-busines cronies and puff on Cuban cigars and laugh about how rich you're getting, and dream about burning alot of oil, and ruining the environment, and laugh about the poor, and make alot of ethnic jokes.... Sure, that's what it is to be president. "Hey fellas, let's invade Iraq, we'll get rich!!" Yep, that was the genesis of that plan, for sure. Anyhow, enough with the Halliburton nonsense. It's hard to put a contract out to bid for a project that only one company on earth is equipped to deal with, you know?? And nobody said "boo" about Halliburton, and no-bid contracts, when they were commonly happening during prior administrations. If Dick Cheney REALLY wanted to be as rich as possible, he would have stayed in the private sector.
