16. Of course he wouldn't have a direct hand in it
He wouldn't need to. In the run up to this over the last 10 years he positioned Halliburton to be rewarded with all the contracts. Why else would they have hired him years ago, for his good looks and personality?? CEO's become CEO's because of the connections and influence they bring, not because of knowledge or wisdom or that they are "real hard workers" and "team players".
Halliburton turns out to be the only company "qualified" to be awarded these contracts. Perhaps Cheney was forward looking to see value in preparing his company to be "qualified" to meet the "challenge" when the time came? Cheney worked this out years ago knowing that in the future they would get another crack at Iraq.
One would have to be a fool to believe that there isn't a further reward in this for him, as if he hasn't been made a millionaire many time over from them already.
