4. The Bush/Cheney/Halliburton Presidency will go down in history as MOST CORRUPT EVER
Which Senate committee would be most interested in this? We need some Dems to jump on this soon.

5. Think about this!
The better to hide coporate profits and avoid taxes.

Is Cheney going to resign and run to Dubai? Can he be extradited from there?

I checked. He can't.

10. At least Halliburton has an exit strategy... but this is fucked up.

13. Just a thought.
If a US corporation moves it's corporate headquarters to a foreign country, they should then cease to be a US corporation. We unfortunately don't have stringent tariff and other laws to deal with this.

Isn't it time we lobby our reps and senators to cut any US funding to these corporations, like privatizing a major part of our federal budget to line the pockets of Halliburton, et al.?

Just a thought.

17. This is proof
This is proof that the Iraq war was about OIL. Cheney is the prick responsible for this. Bush Jr was baled out of bankruptcy by Arabs. Bush Sr was compensated by Saudi Arabia as a consultant. These criminals have used our coutry as a front for crime.

Impeach! Impeach! Impeach! Impeach! Impeach! Impeach! Impeach! Impeach! Impeach! Impeach!
Prosecute! Prosecute! Prosecute! Prosecute! Prosecute! Prosecute! Prosecute! Prosecute! Prosecute!
