July 23rd, 2007 at 11:46 amCall Congress Today for Impeachment
We’ve reached the impeachment moment for Vice President Dick Cheney. We’ve pushed the cosponsor list for H. Res. 333 up to 14. Chairman John Conyers says that if we get 3 more he’ll begin the impeachment proceedings.
And many Congress Members must be recognizing that there is no other path available. Cheney and Bush have repeatedly refused to comply with subpoenas, ordered former staffers not to comply, and announced that the Justice Department will not enforce contempt citations from Congress. When a special prosecutor attempted to hold this administration accountable, Cheney’s chief of staff obstructed justice, and Cheney persuaded Bush to commute his sentence. There is no course left for Congress but Impeachment.
On Monday, July 23rd, the fifth anniversary of the meeting that produced the Downing Street Minutes, Cindy Sheehan, Ray McGovern, Rev. Lennox Yearwood, Ann Wright, Debra Sweet, Dave Lindorff, David Swanson, Jodie Evans, Medea Benjamin, Kevin Zeese, and Tina Richards will lead a march to Chairman Conyers office and not leave until he agrees to begin impeachment proceedings.
If you cannot be there, you can take two minutes on Monday and do two things: phone Chairman Conyers at 202-225-5126 and ask him to start the impeachment of Dick Cheney; and phone your own Congress Member at 202-224-3121 and ask them to immediately call Conyers’ office to express their support for impeachment. Your Congress Member might be one of the three needed, not just to keep impeachment activists out of jail but to keep this nation from devolving into dictatorship.

July 23rd, 2007 at 11:50 amWar is hell, unless you happen to be a war profiteering company like Haliburton.
July 23rd, 2007 at 11:51 amIsn’t the free market great? I know you libtards hate rich people and love to fight class war, but it’s obvious that no bid contracts to companies tied to the West Wing work for those particular companies. Americans should be proud that a great American company like Haliburton is doing so well.
What’s that, it’s not an American company anymore. Well if those damn Democrats weren’t constatnly trying to raise their taxes then they wouldn’t have left!!

July 23rd, 2007 at 11:55 amThe only companies that are doing well are those with overseas components. The domestic economy sucks. Even Bernanke sais so.
July 23rd, 2007 at 11:56 amTPMmuckraker has this:
A second conviction has come down this week in a case of widespread corruption involving former employees and contractors from the Halliburton subsidiary KBR. Investigators claim that at least six more individuals are likely to face charges in a scheme that included bribing federal officials in order to inflate the price of cargo shipped to Iraq. The focus of scrutiny has been a $20 billion contract awarded to KBR at the start of the Iraq war. (NY Times)

July 23rd, 2007 at 11:57 amWhen Nancy Pelosi said she was going to drain the swamp, you’d think she’d start with Halliburton first, since that company was public enemy #1 with the Moveon.org crowd. Why is this company still existing, much less thriving?
July 23rd, 2007 at 11:58 am#7
Your statement is the height of idiocy and demonstrates your ignorance and the ignorance of the other trolls here. There is absolutely no place in a “free market” for a “no-bid contract.” The two are mutually exclusively. That means, for you illiterates that unlike love and marriage you can’t have one with the other. Halliburton could not and would not exist in a free market. Bushco should not and could exist in a true democracy. It is time this Country returned to both.

That was me. Is there a problem?
July 23rd, 2007 at 12:18 pmIt’s too bad that Haliburton isn’t patriotic. If they were, they would not be making obscene profits off this war. But, then, that was the purpose of the war, wasn’t it? The purpose was to make obscene profits for FOB’s off no-bid contracts and then to steal Iraq’s oil. Personally, I think that Haliburton and those who work for them are all traitors to this once great nation.

Congratulations. Your name finally fits…
July 23rd, 2007 at 12:19 pmHow dare they make a profit off of no-bid contracts and ripping off the American taxpayers? To me that’s a traitor to this nation.
July 23rd, 2007 at 12:20 pmNow, why was it that the U.S. invaded Iraq again ?
Because, well, I thought we were still going with the whole WMD thing.
Impeach already.
July 23rd, 2007 at 12:20 pmHmmmm. Between 2004 and 2005, Cheney’s stock options actually rose 3,281 percent. Cheney continues to hold 433,333 Halliburton stock options. Perhaps this increase isn’t that big of a leap.
Everyone already knows how well they are doing off this war. No surprise there.
I guess Cheney has more than made up to the company (Halliburton) now for his decision to buy Dresser Industries that resulted into sending Halliburton into declaring bankruptcy (due to the asbestos liabilites it brought along with it).
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A64535-2005Jan10.html
No wonder Cheney fought so hard after he became vice president to force through the legislation to limit asbestos liability, and fought against legislation introduced by Paul Wellstone and Patty Murray to keep it from being passed (that would have made asbestos illegal and helped those suffering from health problems or families of those who died due to asbestos exposure). No wonder Halliburton got all those no-bid contracts. No wonder..
This is all so very despicable. Cheney is a poor excuse for a human being.
July 23rd, 2007 at 12:21 pmAnd lest we forget, Halliburton’s refused to deliver supplies in some cases, putting soldiers at risk of running out of crucially-needed supplies, at critical times.
July 23rd, 2007 at 12:22 pmCongratulations. Your name finally fits…

July 23rd, 2007 at 12:34 pm21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.
22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake.
23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
24 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.
25 Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.

20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house:
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

Lets ask the recipients of aid from Bill Gate’s charity organization if they hate Bill for becoming rich and having the subsequent resources to create said charity.
There is no honor in being poor, youre just poor. The libs here who are creating such a frenzy about the ‘rich’ are those who havent the ability or the energy to become more than the jealous freeloaders they are.

As compared to the profit driven by their no-bid work in Iraq? I presume you were as equally hysterical when a democrat awarded overseas bids to Halliburton and they made money then?
Just want to test the waters of the Hypocrite River; you had the chance to “change the future” ten years ago, did you take the chance or pass on it?

And not every person is born a genius who can invent something that will earn him millions/billions. Most of us work very hard in regular jobs that don’t pay hundreds of thousands of dollars, let alone millions. At least Bill Gates isn’t hoarding his huge fortune to leave to his children. He’s pretty much doing what Jesus taught.

So what?

July 23rd, 2007 at 12:59 pmIt’s only evil to be rich when you make those riches based on taking advantage of a war, governmental contacts and connections, and shortchanging troops you’re tasked by contract to help build infrastructure and supply.
In other words, yes, it can be evil to be rich when you build it callously on human lives just to raise profits.

He’s a smart guy. He knew that with Halliburton based in Dubai, not having the expenses of an American-based company, and with no competition whatsoever and HUGE government contracts given to them, they would be able to make a profit.
July 23rd, 2007 at 1:10 pm#63… Yeah, so? I think Soros just wants to be able to attend and speak at Halliburton’s annual meeting without being thrown out. And he can make a tidy profit on the side to help fund the vast left-wing conspiracy.
July 23rd, 2007 at 1:12 pmHalliburton’s stock is going to continue to rise. They don’t have to pay taxes, or adhere to American labor laws. Also, they have an effective monopoly. It is easy to turn large profits when you have no competition, and being that the American government will not allow them to have competition (see “no-bid contracts”), their financial future is set.

War Profiteer Soros
by FP
I’m willing to overlook the hypocrisy of the liberal elite. If Al Gore and his Hollywood cronies want to fly around on gas-guzzling, atmosphere-polluting private jets while railing against global climate change, I’m willing to overlook it.
But the latest move by globe trotting, hyper-liberal billionaire George Soros borders on being too much. According to papers filed with the SEC, in the fourth quarter of 2006 Soros purchased nearly 2 million shares of … hold your breath … Halliburton. The Halliburton shares reportedly went for an average purchase price of $31.30 a share. That puts Soros’ total investment in Halliburton at around $62.6 million, or about 2 percent of his total portfolio.
Soros, of course, is the dean of Democratic money giving. And Halliburton, of course, is the company that embodies everything the Democrats see as evil. Dick Cheney is its former chief, for goodness’ sake. But Soros is also a man of contradictions. He supported campaign finance reform for years, only to declare that defeating President George W. Bush was the “central focus” of his life. To prove it, he sunk $24 million of his own “soft” money into the 2004 campaign, helping make that election one of the most divisive in modern history.
Soros’ position in Halliburton is reported to be his first, which means he bought it with a full understanding of Halliburton’s reputation. Soros may not see a problem with profiting from a company that has been accused of everything from sweatheart deals to cooking the books to serving U.S. troops lousy food in Iraq. The real question, however, is whether MoveOn.org, the Center for American Progress, and other organizations that have benefitted from Soros’ charity will see a problem with accepting money earned off Halliburton shares?
