You are also neglecting the fact that Halliburton has been doing the servicing of Iraq's oil infrastructure. I didn't say owning oil, I said making money from it. Riddle me this: both Saddam's sabotage and the invasion destroyed much of Iraq's oil infrastructure at the start of the war. Who was it who helped them to rebuild the infrastructure? Halliburton. Since you have questioned my facts, then let me add this: how about the well-documented reality that the Halliburton subsidiary of Kellogg, Brown, and Root has been found not just charging, but overcharging, the US military for the supplies which it has provided? I can understand how supporters of the Iraq war, which is the greatest foreign relations blunder in American history, would want to be in denial of its reality. But facts are facts.

Re: Cheney suffers 5th heart attack
Why should people on the left want Cheney to die. No one is afraid of him. Wish him well i am glad he witnessed the election of Barack Obama. I just wish Strom and Jesse Helms were around to see it.

We had a detailed plan to seize Iraqi oil fields so Saddam wouldn't be able to destroy Iraq's primary asset to be used in rebuilding the country. The Bush Admin made it a point not to take any oil $$$ from Iraq. Instead we pumped Billions into Iraq to rebuild it. Quote:
Asia Times Online :: Middle East News, Iraq, Iran current affairs From the link: Win-win for Russia and China Cheney's and Rumsfeld's script was never supposed to develop like this. Instead of US Big Oil getting the lion's share, strategic competitors Russia and China turned out to be big winners. Dick Cheney's "consolation prize" was an Exxon-Mobil-Shell alliance getting the phase 1 of West Qurna in early November. Exxon-Mobil had been the favorite to also win Rumaila (17.8 billion barrels of reserves). But a BP-CNPC (China National Petroleum Corporation) alliance got it in the end because unlike Exxon-Mobil they agreed to cut their fee per barrel down to the Oil Ministry-enforced $2. Please show one shred of FACTUAL evidence that Cheney or Bush was invested in ANY military-type or oil producing company while in Executive Office. And certainly the righteous Obama Admin would never steer a contract to one of their donors (cronies) FOXNews.com - $150M Anthrax Vaccine Contract Goes to Firm With Close Dem Party Ties

Re: Cheney suffers 5th heart attack
Doesn't matter if it was for oil or not, we were there for the wrong reasons.

As for Obama cronyism, I don't doubt it for a minute. But: 1) two wrongs do not make a right. Cheney is not absolved, and 2) American troops and ordinary Iraqi citizens have not to my knowledge died because of Obama's anthrax cronyism. Now I'm out of this argument. Back to football for me.
