      It's a racket for the department of defense contractors. The latest King was VP **** Cheney and Haliburton.

      The OEF and OIF theaters all had their equipment and supplies from Haliburton, which ran into the billions off revenues

      Then there's the security contractors who make ridiculous amount of cash, like Xe and others.

      *i can't even say his name? D-I-c-k Cheney
