   KBR stands for Kellogg, Brown, Root. It is a former subsidiary of Halliburton and its CEO between 1995 and 2000 was Dick Cheney.

   A massive contractor in Iraq and what they have been doing has been down right inhuman. The documentary Iraq for Sale is a good a starting point as any:

   Check Youtube if you want some shorter clips of the doc. There should be plenty.

   EDIT:
   Looks like Jay beat me to it.

   @jansie

   He's the Vice President.

   He knew attacking Iraq would lead to a mess:

   He has then antagonised the Iranian situation back in 2003:

   He was writing about doing all this when Secretary of Defense in the 1990s:

   A rhetoric that was then upped through the Wolfowitz Doctrine and PNAC of which he was a signatory. He has continuously pushed for war.

    Jay providing back up article to his comments: 0
    Albionshores prepared to back up what he says: 2

    All I have to do is say something. And you follow-up with the cold hard facts. You would be a GOD of a press secretary!

    Here we all are saying how evil they are, but they got voted into office! How did that happen? This is the government we chose. Maybe we should think a little bit more about how we vote.
