VP Dick Cheney has set a standard for War Profiteering that others can only dream about.Vice President Cheney is an angry man. His war isn’t going well, the prospect of a second term is slipping away, and now some troublemakers in Congress are even starting to talk about war profiteering.

off the Democratic National Committee's "Halliburton Week" focusing on Cheney, the company, ‘and the millions of dollars they've cost taxpayers,’ …”--The Washington Post, 6/26/04
• “Vice President Dick Cheney blurted out the "F word" at Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont during a heated exchange on the Senate floor, congressional aides said on Thursday… ripped into Leahy for the Democratic senator's criticism this week of alleged war profiteering in Iraq by Halliburton, the oil services company that Cheney once ran.”-- Reuters Jun 24, 2004
I can understand why Cheney is mad. He is getting too old to start a new career, and war profiteering is the only thing he does really well. Dick Cheney has set a standard that other war profiteers can only dream about.
