The War Years Have Been Good For Dick
What good is a war if ya can’t profit from it ‘eh?
From 2001 to 2005, Mr. Cheney received “deferred salary payments†from Halliburton that far exceeded what taxpayers gave him. Mr. Cheney still holds hundreds of thousands of stock options that have ballooned by millions of dollars as Halliburton profited handsomely from the war in Iraq.
Heh.
Why do you think he is so intent on starting the Iran War?
He should be put in prison – Big Time!
Addendum: Dick just can’t help himself from lying again and again.
This is getting pathetic and ridiculous.
Then again – people without conscience like him simply can’t grasp the very concepts and principles that they so casually throw about in order to make political points (and cover their mendacity).
Well, then the question remains why you didn’t do the smart thing and buy all this Halliburton stock? Its a publicly traded company, after all, and Cheney would probably gladly have parted for his stock for a decent price when he took office.
As Morningstar tells us about Halliburton (HAL) stock:This stock is in the oil/gas svcs. industry, which has generated market-like returns over the past 10 years, but has done better than average the past five.
If you want Cheney’s stock to really go down, why don’t you call your buddy in Venezuala and have him cut out the fascist bullshit? You can also have a little talk with your lapdogs in al qaida, and tell them to just back off and let Iraq develop into a peaceful democratic state like Cheney’s boss was trying to do in the first place. After that, you’ll see the price of oil retreat to somewhat more sensible levels, and HAL stock to return to moderate growth.
” your buddy in Venezuala … your lapdogs in al qaida…”
Wow. They still talk like that?
Apparently, they do. If I was you, I’d just shut yer yap. Go sit in the corner. Put that foil hat on. And pray you don’t become the fourth on the list in that there Axis that the Decider has defined. Do not think “Evil.”
Nah! No more of that, Balb! Expunge thoughts of voodoo economics. It’s gone beyond that to Advanced Studies in Carpetbagging, with a major in Mass Destruction. Do you want the 5th Fleet to detour up the Ottawa to the door of that little bunker of yours? Huh? Huh?
It’s kind of cute, that language. Has a nostalgic, retro feel to it, don’t you think? Like listening to Red Guard from the Great Proletarian Revolution rave about “running dog lickspittle lackeys of the bourgeoisie”.
You do know, of course, that your phraseology is so… French Revolution? To catch up, I would go — do not hesitate — to amazon.com where for the low, low price of only $49.95 U.S. (yes, that’s U.S. dollars) “Rhetoric of the Chinese Cultural Revolution: The Impact on Chinese Thought, Culture, and Communication, by Xing Lu.
Saaayy… wait a sec! Don’t you already have a bunker bunny of that particular persuasion hiding out in that lair of yours?
That would be Lily, formerly of Shanghai’s notorious Gang of Five. (Yes, I know what you’re thinking…but the media only nicknamed it AFTER she left.)
Wow, Balb, Stageleft- I didn’t know that “Trolls-R-Us” was in full publicity campaign swing-mode! Lookit them posts here!
Amazing, eh?
Balb, just how informed can these yo-yos be? To wit: “Venezuala.”
BTW, put me down if Lily ever wants to put out a Bunker calendar.
