I can't quite figure it out myself...obviously VP Cheney is a very smart man and very articulate in the video--he had complete and studied, clarity of the Mid East situation in 1994, and knew of the religious fractionalization of the general area. I know he pretty much has told Bush what to do all along.
And, yes, I am a left leaning Democrat, BUT I refuse to believe Cheney helped push the war button simply because he new it would grow the coffers of Haliburton!

many more companies than Halliburton.

This war is much deeper than growing Haliburton's coffers, or Blackwater's, etc. War churns many coffers, and it isn't only their cronies'. Spending that kind of money also churns the economy in general. As employees make more, they pay more taxes, and they spend more money, and so the greasy hamster churns the butter wheel.I can't quite figure it out myself...obviously VP Cheney is a very smart man and very articulate in the video--he had complete and studied, clarity of the Mid East situation in 1994, and knew of the religious fractionalization of the general area.

That statement has always made me sick at heart and sick to my stomach at the same time.

there's no fear to sell, except now perhaps crumbling bridgesBut doesn't it seem that even when there is no war to pay for, that money never gets spent correctly?

Those in power know where to spend to keep power. In their minds they are spending correctly, even if they know it is wrong.
