Halliburton, sold key nuclear-reactor components to a private Iranian oil company as recently as 2005, using offshore subsidiaries to circumvent U.S. sanctions. Cheney, who now claims to want to stop Iran from getting nukes, was president of Halliburton in the mid-1990s, at which time he may have advocated business dealings with Iran, in violation of U.S. law.

Loved the 1st 2 answers! I have a son that is retired after 21 years in the Marine Corps & though he was never in any danger,it turned what used to be a little Democrat boy, into an extreme right-wing neo-crook republican! Notice I never capitalize republican since it is so unworthy! And my boy still backs the 'boy-george'/d*ckhead cheney/crook rove/dummy rumsfeld regime 100% What a damned fool he has become!

Dick Cheney is no better than an international arms dealer hiding behind the vice-president's office. If I were Halliburton, I would convince him to sell any stock he owned in the company since it makes them look so bad.

This would come as no surprise. Colonel Oliver North was gun running to the Iranians in the 1980s at the same time that the official US policy was to support Saddam Hussein in th Iraq/Iran war.

how exactly is Halliburton going to get all-time record profits if they don't "sew the seeds" for some conflict?
a few nuclear components here means billions of dollars later... that's a H*ll of a return on an investment...
...when will people start caring more about America than about money?

It reminds me of a very funny joke.
Negrodamus is a fictional prophet/seer character, played by Paul Mooney, who appears on Comedy Central's Chappelle's Show.
His name is a portmanteau of the archaic racial term ***** and the famous "prophet" Nostradamus. His predictions are often absurd send-ups of common African-American stereotypes.
Q: Negrodamus, why is President Bush so sure Iraq has weapons of mass destruction?
N: Because he has the receipt.

Cheney is at best very self-serving and anything he does under the table wouldn't surprise me.
