My fellow Americans,
As you may have heard, after Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont denounced
Halliburton for profiteering from the Iraq war from the Senate floor,
Dick Cheney, the Vice President of the United States and former CEO of
Halliburton, told Leahy to either "f--- off" or "go f--- yourself."
This is the new American attitude. In honor of this statesmanlike
conduct, I put together this composite from images culled from the web
and Halliburton’s web site. I hope this further buries the Bush/Cheney
campaign and the American people realize what it is they are actually
getting if they vote for these crooks.

Peace.
… I mean, “Go f--- yourself.”

WASHINGTON -- Auditors looking into hefty charges rung up by Halliburton Co. and others at a beachfront hotel in Kuwait chastised the Coalition Provisional Authority for failing to better control costs. The authority's inspector general, examining MILLION in charges being incurred annually at the five-star Kuwait Hilton, said the Provisional Authority "did not apply adequate oversight to ensure that operating costs were minimized."
...Halliburton subsidiary KBR allowed lower-level workers to stay there as well. That pushed up costs by some .85 MILLION a year, the report said.
The government could have saved 1,000 for laundry service alone if it had installed washers and dryers in the villas for workers to use, rather than allow them to use the hotel laundry service...
