Heck, Cheney's boss was AWOL.

From the article - "But Cheney wanted more, a clear field for Big Oil. Vietnam fouled the language with the "nun gap," Henry Kissinger's sordid formulation for the interval between the time we pulled out of South Vietnam and the time the first nun was raped after North Vietnam conquered it. If Bush attacks Iraq, I suspect the "Halliburton gap" will be closing even as telegrams home will be regretting to inform the bereaved."

Halliburton will be in there so fast it will be hard to believe. And it will be on "humanitarian" grounds, as if the Iraqis don't know how to pump their own oil.

What a farce!

Arf (he, indeed, had other priorities, as did his boss.)
