Pap for useful i***ts.
Here's two simple facts that useful i***ts will not even understand.
1. Revenues of 39.5 billion equate to 39.5 billion made only if there were no expenses associated with the 39.5 billion -
2. Cheney sold all of his Halliburton stock well before the e******n, let alone the inaugeration, at the response to liberal attacks - and even after the sold the stocks and Halliburtion stocks went down, he was accused by the same people of having insider knowledge in selling them. Now the i***ts will believe he profited from the Iraq War. Ignorance can be corrected, stupdity is terminal

Ignorance seems to have the ability to feed on itself and grow into stupidity -- some times at a rapid rate. Those claiming that Mr Cheney profited from the Iraq War don't understand that Halliburton had offered various services to the Federal Government - that purchased what was needed. To my knowledge, no one "forced" the Federal Government to buy anything. No doubt there will be those of limited knowledge who will disagree, but seem to have difficulty of presenting proof. Also, it has be come a proven fact that no matter a conservative politician does, it was wrong - - in some peoples eyes. Like the old country saying: "You just can't win for losing!!"

I find that $39.5 billion to be fairly minuscule compared to what left leaners keep saying about the total cost of that war. One would think that out of $1 trillion they should have made at least that much if they were as bad as lefties say they were.

I haven't found many of the left lean who have any idea what large oil company had the tools necessary to operate in Iraq if those in operation were destroyed. Halliburton had much of that stuff very near and idle at the time. They were the obvious company to go to since they didn't have to move equipment across an ocean and nobody else was ready.
