Nigeria will drop charges against former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney and Halliburton, the oil-services firm he once headed, after the company agreed to pay up to $250 million to settle a bribery case, the U.K.'s Guardian newspaper reported Wednesday.

The charges stem from a case involving millions allegedly paid in bribes to Nigerian officials by Halliburton and other firms to win a contract to build a $6 billion liquefied natural gas plant in Nigeria's oil-rich southern delta.

Nigeria's anti-corruption police, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, said it met officials representing Cheney and Halliburton in London last week, according to the Guardian.

This corrupt fucker was Vice President. This corrupt fucker held secret meetings with big oil. This fucker lied the country in to an illeegal war. This heartless fucker is still walking free. This fucker is terrified of WikiLeaks.

1. Why is Obama opposed to the prosecution of the war criminal, Cheney, and

who were the "officials" representing Cheney and Halliburton?

Those are not rhetorical questions.
