Cheney's Capitalism OR Deals with Iran

[ck4829]

Dick Cheney has several important links to Iran, that make him look as though he is helping the Terrorists, and furthermore what he was doing was illegal.

Cheney worked for Halliburton from 1995 to 2000. In 1996, it was Cheney himself who urged Congress to ease Sanctions against Iran. Halliburton is now being investigated, the Iran links being investigated is just the latest of 5 probes, the others including bribery, kickbacks, and overcharging.

Even though Iran had sanctions against it, many signs point to the fact that the Cheney led Halliburton had done business with Iran anyway.

It was found that Halliburton had done business in Iran even with the Iran-Libya Sanctions Act in place. It settled with the Department of Commerce in 1997, before Cheney became CEO (but still had connections to the Company even before then), over allegations relating to Iran for $15,000, without admitting any wrongdoing.

1. He needs to be more of a target

They slime Edwards with everything they can get their greasy hands on... we need to stop being so polite and start calling Cheney the traitorous criminal he is.

2. I hope someone is writing a biography of Cheney.

Not one that would be published by Regenery or Harper Collins.
