"the country would split up"
jeromechickenbone:
Was he with Halliburton at that time?
King Tech Quadafi:
The interview is dated April 15, 1994
He became their CEO from 1995 to 2000
"From 1997 through 2000, Cheney's Halliburton sold $73 million worth of oil equipment and services to Iraq through subsidiaries Dresser-Rand and Ingersoll Dresser Pump Co. to help rebuild Iraq's Gulf War-damaged infrastructure"
As of September 25, 2003, a Congressional report found he still had financial interest in the company. This is almost 6 months after the war began, a war which saw Halliburton awared a 1.25 billion dollar no bid contract

interesting... he doesn't seem like such a monster in this interview... the military industrial complex has had quite an affect on him

During his time in Hal. him and many conservatives were planning the GREAT AMERICAN CENTURY, which involved using Iraq as the center of U.S. domination, and taking the oil from the Middle East and converting the region to Christainity. It was thought of during Gulf War I, but we thought better of it. But with Clinton out the way and G.Dub in office, and Cheney as VP, and most of these conservatives taking cabinet jobs, and a Republican majority in congress and the majority of the votes in the Supreme Court, this pipe dream was almost a reality. 9-11 was ALLOWED to happen to spark American resentment, therefore it can all be justified. Cheney and them thought about it pre-1995, but 1995-2000 they were planning it all out.
