You may want to see how many years and under how many Presidents that Haliburton has prospered. They were doing large government work in unfriendly areas long before the VP.
Haliburton has been investigated many times over various charges and not one has been found to be correct.
I can see that some here avoid the facts and lean toward reporting what a liberal media spouts. Do some research. Check the Bush family net worth and their investments. Nothing would profit from a war in any country.
Past that, look at what happened to the politcal parties that stopped wars. When Nixon got us out of VN, the Republican party gained and the economy stalled. When Reagan assumed the Presidency, a lot of strife stopped and the economy boomed. War benefits defense contractors and they are mainly Democratic owned. Oil companies, energy corps and such are also democratic controlled. The stink with ENRON appeared to stain Bush but was dropped when it was learned ENRON gave more to the Demos than to Republicans. EXXON is headed by a group of Dems and the CEO is a Democrat. The profits made by EXXON was defended on the Senate floor by Democrats, not republicans. Bush has encouraged alternative fuels and has been met with resistance by Dems. Hilary now is saying the US needs to forget ethyenol and grain fuels. Both would benefit farmers but would hurt oil profits.
