It was OK when Reagan sold weapons to Iran, so it must be OK when Cheney does it. As long as you're a Republican it's OK!

Edited to add:
SORRY EVERYBODY- NOT CURRENT
After several expressions of outrage, and someone asking how old this was, I Googled it, and found a New Yourk Times story about this from 2007 (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/01/washington/01halliburton.html) This video was posted on YouTube on December 24, but the poster didn't indicate that it was old news.
Sorry!

1. do we really need more legislation when it appears our darling Halliburton has (again) blatantly

violated the law as traitors?

[yardwork]

2. Throw them in Gitmo for treason.

We gave Halliburton billions of dollars in no-bid contracts for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and now we tolerate them selling nuclear technology to our avowed enemy, Iran?

3. Republicans have been arming

Iran for many years. Many of them.

5. The Invisible Hand Of The Free Market can never be wrong.

I only wish the word "charged" was a more legal definition of what's happening.
That my senator Sherrod Brown. I'll be volunteering all the time I can afford next year to keep him in office.

9. Have you heard this?

John Nichols chose Brown as "Most Valuable Senator" in his Progressive Honor Roll for 2011. High praise from a very perceptive commentator.

15. That's great!

Although such an award can be a double edged sword here in Ohio, he well deserves recognition for the causes he takes on. He seldom refers to himself as a liberal (of course), but if his lips are moving it's because he's speaking out in favor of the working man and woman.

His wonderful wife Connie Schultz, who pens a left leaning collumn in The Cleveland Plain Dealer, has inspired me so much I've actually written letters thanking her. She did an excellent job on Real Time w/ Bill Maher last year.

What a couple they are!
It's a risky statement these days, but I believe they are the most sincere people in the American political scene. They really do care if people are struggling, and I'm afraid that makes Brown a target for the Tea Party next year.

Thanx for the link!

On edit: I see Ms Schultz has one again resigned her post at The PD as she did in 2007 to focus on the campaign. She has quite an independent resume' herself:

6. unbelievable! unacceptable!

all the bullshit jingoism we had to hear from the corrupt cheney/bush admin and now we see that these dirtbags, these pieces of human garbage, have been selling nuclear secrets to iran....all while calling obama a secret muslim,

where is the supposed liberal mainstream media on this?

[Frustratedlady]

7. That was quite a reaction to Sherrod Brown's comment

on Halliburton at the end of his questioning of the corporate secretary or whatever she was called. Look at her reaction around 7:50 min. into the video.

14. noticed that as well

reminds me of Cruella Deville

8. Look forward! Off the table! What are you gonna DO about it? Take it!

[DeSwiss]

10. When we start sending CEOs and top executives to prison......

...that's when ''US companies'' will stop breaking the laws.

- And not until.......

11. You got that right!

We are talking about a company, who knowingly, killed generations of their workers with asbestos because it was cheap, and to come clean would invite the eventual lawsuits that came many decades later. They need to serve time in prison, preferably not one that Halliburton built!

[mistertrickster]

12. This is outrageous given the poisonous rhetoric from the right

when we leftists try to stop Bush's illegal and immoral war.

K & R this to the top.

[Jack Rabbit]

13. How old is this?

The breaking news trailers talk about who Senator McCain hired for his presidential campaign.

Halliburton has behaved outrageously, but this isn't current news.

17. This video was posted on YouTube on December 24

But I Googled it and found stories about this from as far back as May 2007.

SORRY EVERYBODY- NOT CURRENT!

16. Wow. What a Shock!
