Cheney Fleeing To Dubai
We’ve all been wondering where Cheney would seek exile, and today the answer was delivered: Dubai.

Cheney’s company, Halliburton, is suddenly moving corporate headquarters to the United Arab Emirates state. All the top executives are going to Dubai, which means they’ll be far out of reach of that pesky American Congress. “The oil giant will keep an office in Houston but the posts of chairman, president and chief executive will be based in Dubai,” BBC reports. Disgraced weirdo Micheal Jackson also fled to Dubai to avoid further criminal prosecution in America. Halliburton has been running its illegal operations — such as its oil business in Iran — out of its Dubai offices for years...cont'd

4. Yeah, all they have is Halliburton, their private war machine and all it's mercenaries...

It's not about borders or countries or sovereignty for corporations. They are past all those artificial divisions (but will be the first to employ them as a propaganda tool to divide otherwise strong groups and nations). They are 'sovereign companies'. Money is money, wherever you are. And green is the only color flag they fly.

8. It seems that Dubai has been a "get out jail free" card lately...
First Michael Jackson fled there, now Dick Cheney. Who's next?

9. Have you seen Dubai? It's like one big Neverland Ranch on steroids. And no one has to grow up!
Edited on Tue Mar-13-07 04:18 PM by Dover
Surreal. Oz. In fact one development area is called Dubailand!
How fitting for Jackson and the man behind the curtain...Cheney.
