HAlliburton and Dick Cheney
Randy Black replied to John Heelan: "During the time when he was CEO of Halliburtom, Cheney complained the sanctions "are nearly always motivated by domestic political pressure, the need for Congress to appeal to some domestic constituency"." John Heelan retorts:"It is good of Randy Black to confirm that Dick Cheney agrees with RH that US foreign policy is governed by the need to "appeal to some (US) domestic constituency". However, Cheney's comment does cause a problem for him. Does it not imply that rather than removing Iraq's WMD or bringing democracy to the Iraqi people, the Iraq War was an "appeal to domestic constituency". That constituency would not by any chance be either the neo-conservatives, or the pro-Zionist lobby or the military- industrial combine or the oil industry- or perhaps all four? If so, Cheney would appear to be, Heaven forfend, demonstrating his hypocrisy".
