Default I heard Dick Cheney went hunting...

Self deleted, I may have offended 3 out of 4 that replied?? Cheney's not as important to me as you guys are. Next time I insult him I will try to keep it on the Dock!

Don't know about human casualties. However, when asked how they felt-Local deer said they weren't concerned as they felt like they would be the last thing Cheney would shoot! Smart deer!

All we have to do now to kill this thread is ask for some pics of a buxom lady pirate. That, and throw around prices from our favorite guitar stores.


Got any lady pirate pics?

I'd rather go hunting with Dick Cheney than riding with Ted Kennedy.

Would you rather go for a ride in an un-armored Humvee in Iraq while Dick Cheney goes hunting with his buddies from Halliburton?

Ted Kennedy's ride = one dead.

Cheney's ride = millions dead.

And now Cheney has his sights on Iran. Same fear-mongering. Same phony "intelligence". More profit for Cheney and his hunting buddies.

I'm no fan of Ted Kennedy but Cheney is in another league altogether when it comes to death and destruction for fun and profit.

Frontline: The Dark Side

White House Leak: Cheney's Plan for Iran Attack Starts With Israeli Missile Strike

LOGCAP

Quote:
It was Dick Cheney, as defense secretary in 1992, who spearheaded the movement to privatize most of the military's civil logistics activities. Under the direction of Secretary Cheney, the Pentagon paid $9 million to Halliburton's subsidiary, KBR, to conduct a study to determine whether private companies like itself should handle all of the military's civil logistics. KBR's classified study concluded that greater privatization of logistics was in the government's best interest. Shortly thereafter, on August 3, 1992, Secretary Cheney awarded the first comprehensive LOGCAP contract to KBR. The Washington Post reported "The Pentagon chose [KBR] to carry out the study and subsequently selected the company to implement its own plan." Three years later, in 1995, Halliburton hired Cheney as its CEO.

In 1997, two years after Cheney became CEO of Halliburton, KBR's LOGCAP contract was not renewed and the government alleged the company engaged in fraudulent billing practices. The independent auditing arm of Congress, the GAO, had criticized KBR's performance during America's war in the Balkans. GAO said KBR's cost-overruns in the Balkans inflated the original contract price by 32 percent. After KBR was effectively fired by the Army in 1997, the LOGCAP contract was awarded to Halliburton competitor DynCorp. But, after Cheney became vice president in 2001, DynCorp was fired and KBR was re-awarded the contract.

Today, 90 percent of KBR's work under LOGCAP is being done in Iraq. Over 24,000 Halliburton employees and subcontract workers are employed to carryout LOGCAP in the Iraq-Kuwait region.

Halliburton's revenue from LOGCAP increased from $320 million in the second quarter of 2003 to over $2 billion in the fourth quarter of 2003. As of May 2004, the federal government had spent nearly $5 billion on LOGCAP since KBR became the sole contractor in 2001. The original value of LOGCAP in Iraq was estimated at over $4 billion, but the value of the contract is now over $8 billion and could reach $18 billion. These values can change as war conditions change. The $8 billion figure for Iraq does not include KBR's LOGCAP business in dozens of other countries around the globe, including Guantanimo Bay, Cuba, where it constructed the prisons used to house prisoners from Afghanistan.
And there's more. Much, much more.

You can type as slowly as you like. I have nothing to get over except this lousy cold.
