Ever since the Reagan campaign worked with them to keep the embassy hostages locked up until after the 1980 election, the connection has always been tight. "Axis of Evil" my ass. The Iranians probably sat down at a table with Rove and Cheney and thought it out collectively, and had a big laugh when they were done.

Dick Cheney's house on the Island of Kish may be no longer registered in his name (it used to be), but it is still in the name of Halliburton, which is of course, no longer a Texas company, but a company based in Dubai--right across the Gulf from Kish (how convenient--a mere coincidence, right? RIGHT?).

Thanks for the story of how corrupt Reagan and Cheney Administration was. Had a acquaintance mention this event almost in real time.

They may appear to be on opposite sides but they're really all on the same side: let's have a war and make money!

The People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (abbreviated MEK, PMOI or MKO) has by weird coincidences always been the only Muslims, the right wing groups really loves.
