Neither Bush 41or Bush 43 have ever worked for Halliburton. Mr. Cheney worked there between gigs in the White House. During the Nixon/Ford years, he was Assistant Chief of Staff. When Ford left office, so too did Mr. Cheney. I suspect you would have rather he collected welfare than find work. Also, the law requires that politicians divest themselves of all stocks and holdings that would cause a conflict of interest.
I’m surprised that those who would point an accusing finger have not yet made the connection between Condi Rice and her former years working for Texaco. But then, that would require them actually having a brain and exercising the ability to think critically. Just too big a stretch I suppose.

Still not buying into it. The DuPont brothers provided over 90% of the gunpowder used in WW I, and that was while Wilson was proclaiming neutrality. Joe Kennedy, Sr. was the boot legger who sold to FDR while he was Governor. Joe was rewarded by being given ambassadorship and further rewarded by Jack’s being made a senator and later President… Given these facts, you only now begin to wonder about our country’s having been bought? Clinton sold us out to the Chinese and now from whom are we getting financial loans to run the country? Where does it end?
And from those of us who were paying attention, the war is a continuation of Desert Shield/Storm. Had the U.N. been a credible and reliable institution, we would never have gone in the first time around. But because they slept at the switch and Reagan found it necessary to reflag foreign oil tankers passing through the region and was kind enough to provide them with U.S. naval escort, it was pretty clear that we had to do the U.N.’s job. AND, had Mr. Clinton actually been doing HIS job, we would not be there now. Water under the bridge. All we can do now is to continue cleaning up after Mr. Clinton. Kind of like Clinton’s NAFTA. Is anyone REALLY surprised that so many jobs went overseas and that unemployment is now growing? You can ignore the facts, but eventually, they will either have to be dealt with or they will bite you in the rear. We got bit.

Since Bush and Cheney had the ability to generate work for and award contracts to Haliburton, while Soros does not, any ownership stake they had or have is very different than any Soros has. After all, Bush and Cheney could take actions that would increase Haliburton’s profits, while Soros cannot.
Soros uses his money to help the people so if he doesn’t invest in it someone else does. He knows they are using the military & profiting but he might be giving it back to the families. Bush & Cheney working for them then starting a war to have construction contracts is murder.
I bought a few shares of halliburton myself after the invasion of Iraq…(I jest, I jest)
Soros is making an investment, Bush and Cheney were thought to be funneling sweet-heart deals to Halliburton by using their office and powers to direct contracts/funds to halliburton.
Soros isn’t a political leader. He’s a businessman with political interests.
Bush and Cheney worked for them and Soros merely owns a portion (through stocks of course).
To me, no difference… They all have stakes and claims to the profits in some form or fashion.
And Soros may not have been President… but his pockets are deep… deep enough to be one of (if not the) largest contribute to Obama… and not just in this last election either.
Look they all contribute in some way to Halliburton for money…. I think we can all agree with that… But I wouldn’t be so sure that if it were Obama in office under the same circumstances as Bush that the Iraq war wouldn’t have started still… Some of us realize it’s the one with all the money that pulls the strings… and I am pretty sure the Soros will pull Obama’s strings to get a war with Iran or Palestine (Since Soros is most definitely Pro-Isreal)… So again, no real difference in the two… they are all heavy into money and politics…
One is a businessman and the others are politicians who started an unnecessary war to profit them.
The difference would be the hypocrisy of George Soros and liberals who support him.
Soros isn’t the President
George Soros is one lying and liberal businessman!
George Soros is not the former President and VP of the US>
