It was all over the news at the time and there are numerous articles on it. Cheney's company made over 39 billion on the war. I actually don't blame bush for the war....I blame cheney for the false info getting us into this needless war.
Sorry to burst your bubble but, Haliburton was NOT Chaney's "company" at the time. He had severed his connections.
Did he own stock? Yes. Just as tens of thousands of other Americans did.
Heck. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that YOUR IRA or 401K had STOCK.
If Bush didnt lie than he is the most incompetent and.gullible president because I along with many others knew there were no WMDs.
So either a lair or a.bumbling idiot, take.your pick makes no difference to me

Maybe the brain cancer was already making him delusional, but he seems convinced that WMDs did exits such that they could be transferred to terrorists organizations.
His contention was that there was no evidence that Hussein would transfer them to terrorists organizations.
That sure is a long way from "don`t exist", ain`t it?
Of course that was before the 2004 general election when Democrats had to invent some **** to throw at Bush.
The left`s arguments against the war prior to the invasion were that biological and chemical weapons could be used against US troops, presently secure WMDs could be lost in the chaos of war, biological and chemical weapons could be used against civilians and that Hussein might make a final stand with his WMDs.

Whether Hussein had WMDs before the war or not, you and blind melon knew less about Hussein`s WMDs than Ted Kennedy and he believed they were weapons that could be transferred to terrorists but that no evidence existed that they would be transferred to terrorists.
The difference that it makes is that you and blind melon apparently knew something that Ted Kennedy didn`t know and that means you and blind melon are full of ****.

You are making a false claim. Ted Kennedy knew the same thing the other senators knew, which was the information the Bush administration provided to them. That information was wrong, it is that simple.
You continuously naming prominent democrats and using the fallacy of " you are claiming to know more than they did, or you obviously didnt know more than they did" doesnt change the fact that the information they had was wrong.
The guy who briefed President Bush said that the Bush Administration lied. What better answer do you need ???

still trying to rewrite history are you? still buying into the democrat lies are you? the truth is that the intelligence that bush provided as reason to invade iraq, was THE SAME INTELLIGENCE that clinton used, and provided congress, as much as two years before bush was elected. nice try but you fail again.
