Not to mention the $30 billion or so we are going to spend rebuilding postwar Iraq. Am I the only one who sees something fishy in Cheney's going from Secretary of defense to CEO of Halliburton to VP and THEN we attack Iraq, hire Halliburton and its subsidiary companies to supply our military infra-structure over there, as well as do post war clean-up? Halliburton et al were mostly given these contracts which were not made open to public bidding as most government contracts are supposed to be. Why do I have this suspicion that Cheney manipulated Bush into creating this straw dog out of Iraq, so that it could be knocked down and rebuilt, all at the expense of the tax payer's dollar? I think Cheney has got to be the biggest welfare queen on the roles.
