An auditing board sponsored by the United Nations recommended yesterday that the United States repay as much as $208 million to the Iraqi government for contracting work in 2003 and 2004 assigned to Kellogg, Brown & Root, the Halliburton subsidiary.
The work was paid for with Iraqi oil proceeds, but the board said it was either carried out at inflated prices or done poorly.
Raw Story reports that Big Dick's riding high on his stock options in the country.
Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) asserts that Cheney's options -- worth $241,498 a year ago -- are now valued at more than $8 million. The former CEO of the oil and gas services juggernaut, Cheney has pledged to give proceeds to charity.
There's something about seeing the words "Cheney" and "charity" in the same sentence that just doesn’t jibe. I'll be interested to see what "charity" reaps the benefit of Mister Cheney's largesse.
Oil for heart surgery, D? I was thinking he might be referring to some GOP 527 organization. Or one of Pat Robertson's enterprises.
ReplyDeleteScott,
Never been a fan of Moore's. Makes no never mind to me if he's a hypocrite.
Moore and Coulter: now there's a match. And a horrifying mental image!
ReplyDeleteI'm not entirely sure what all the Cheney '08 talk is really about. Largely, I think, support of the neo-con agenda.
Did you ever see my photoshop of Coulter in a halter? And that's not as in "halter top".
ReplyDeleteI could have made it far ruder ;o)
THAT's going to take a while to erase from memory.

Ariadne,
ReplyDeleteCheney's old, his hearing isn't so good.
He must have thought he was pledging to "hold up" the Constitution.
