Our brothers, sisters, fathers, sons are on the front line in Basra, Kabul and Baghdad. They enlist, they give their lives for their country. Yet the man who got us into this war has kids who will never fight in Basra or Baghdad. We see them in glossie magazines partying and on vacation. Meanwhile Cheney is laughing all the way to his offshore account as his Haliburton profits soar.

The Houston-based company credited the quarter's 11 per cent rise in revenue, to $3.6bn largely to increased activity in its Engineering and Construction Group (ECG) projects, including government services work in the Middle East.
