Guess What Congressman during the Vietnam War made this statement.

[Montagnard]

As a Republican congressman from Illinois in 1966, raised questions about the 30-year association between Halliburton’s chairman and then-president Lyndon Johnson. "Why this huge contract has not been and is not now being adequately audited is beyond me," said. "The potential for waste and profiteering under such a contract is substantial."

He was a Congressman from Illinois about that time. Happily, not the solidly Democratic district I lived in. :)

6. Cheney wasn't a Congressman back then and he was originally from Wyoming.

He was elected to Congress in 1978 and he served until 1989 when he became the Defense Secretary for Bush Sr.

Rummy. I think I heard it mentioned on Al Franken's show today.

I didn't even know Rummy was anything but a political leech.

10. I can't guess, because I was too young at the time--

But LBJ and Bush are so very similar!

[babylonsister]

13. Not even. LBJ admitted his mistakes, and then some. nt

12. Rumsfeld. Final answer.

14. It would seem

that Halliburton has been screwing the taxpayer for A LOT longer than I had though.

15. The brother of Halliburtons CFO was a high school classmate of mine.

He lives across the block from me. The brother is a nice guy but I have never went into a political discussion with him.
