Halliburton, the corporation of which the honorable Dick Cheny* was CEO before he became Vice President, posted record profits in the last few months. It attributes the profit to assistance with the Iraqi war. …oh, and to corrupt no-bid contracts with our government. Yes, mustn’t forget those.

You think the northwest US has high gas prices? You should consider Iraq and Kuwait, where it is $0.15 per gallon, the US is getting it for more than $2.50 per gallon from Halliburton.
