Whether you choose to see it ...that is the case!!
Do some research. Cheney---Halliburton. He was a seated CEO in the 90's and WILL re-establish those connections after his vice-presidency is over. Halliburton is the company that is rebuilding Iraq through NO BID contracts with the administration.
Bush, Rumsfeld, the Bin Laden's and others in the Bush administration are connected to The Carlyle Group who have business connections with companies involved in military contracts. When Bush is out of office he will re-establish connections with these businesses again.
Can you say CONFLICT OF INTEREST?
It has to STOP!!
We are selling our military and the troops to the highest bidder!
Just because he's the President doesn't give him the right to profit from his foreign policy!!
He is a United States EMPLOYEE and he should be fired!!

Actually Bush and Cheney are already profitting from the war. Their finances are in a blind trust until they are out of office, to avoid the conflict of interest thing. There is nothing to reconnect. They are already connected. Their business is EBNERGY and they are involved in a war in a nation with OIL.

Because all the uneducated bible beaters from the red states elected these people-although I do think the Bush/Gore election was corrupt with the whole Florida state and brother Bush swinging the vote thing.It made our country look like some corrupt third world dictatorship.

so the hell what, Hillary Clinton-sitting board member Oxidental petroleum (9th largest oil corp. in the world) Al Gore is known to have bundles of money invested in British petroleum (what a hypocrite). At least Cheney sold all his stock in Haliburten?????
I could go on.......

if the American public ever revolted you would see those camps that Halliburton is building (kellogg,brown and root) start to get used and filled up.
As long as there is chicken in the pot and an SUV in the driveway,things will go on as they always have.
PETA WABB.........friendships only last as long as they are politically expedient

you forgot to mention Zalmay Khalilzad, current US ambassador to Iraq (appointed by George W.) who worked extensively as a middle east consultant for UnoCal and in the 1990's brought the Taliban to Texas in the hopes of negotiating a Trans-Afghanistan gas pipeline..

Neither has anything to do with prior business connections...I think that their age may preclude them from further rejoining.
The Highest Bidder........I WISH....We go with the lowest bidder..Most of military's supplies come from US Companies, manufactured overseas.
The Bid process sometimes takes up to 6 months ( I know I sell to the Govt) Dont have the time to go through that process in time of war....
You are a United States Citizen and should support the Administration....you should be charged with Treason......
My Opinion!!!

As a USMC Iraq war veteran,I can answer your question for you.FIRST....they are running the country because we elected them.If Kerry had won the election,I would have resigned my commission,because I could never in good conscience serve with him as commander in chief.
SECOND...Haliburton was given those contracts for one VERY good reason.There is NOT ONE other company on the planet that had in place the manpower and resources to handle the nearly impossible job of supplying a war-torn third world country,and our military ,with the goods and services required for people like me to protect people like you,while you sit at home,in your air conditioned mall,complaining on your designer cell phone to your spoiled little freinds about things you CLEARLY do not understand.
