    Meanwhile, Cheney was busy developing Halliburton's business in other
    parts of the world. "It is a false dichotomy that we have to choose
    between our commercial and other interests," he told the [public policy
    research foundation] Cato Institute in 1998, speaking out against
    economic sanctions levied by the Clinton administration against
    countries suspected of terrorist activity. "Our government has become
    sanctions-happy," he continued.

    In particular, Cheney objected to sanctions against Libya and Iran, two
    countries with which Halliburton was already doing business regardless.
    Even more disconcerting, though, was the work the company did in Iraq.
    Between his stints as secretary of defence and vice-president, Cheney
    was in charge of Halliburton when it was circumventing strict UN
    sanctions, helping to rebuild Iraq and enriching Saddam Hussein.

    There's also plenty of other references to this if you google.

    What was that you were saying, Paul? Did you even have a point? Your
    own man did it and you have the gall to shake a finger at the European
    people?

    Oh yeah... you were talking about how people were ignorant of the
    facts.... right...
