The Halliburton smear
Rich Lowry:
"The Democrats have discovered the enemy in the ongoing Iraq war. And it is Halliburton.
"Nothing quite so angers Democrats about the current situation in Iraq than that Halliburton is making money there...."
"Behind the Democratic outrage is the implicit, and sometimes explicit, charge that Bush waged war in Iraq to fatten the bottom line of one corporation. As The New York Times has put it, Halliburton's Iraq contract "undermines the Bush administration's portrayal of the war as a campaign for disarmament and democracy, not lucre." But to have risked his presidency -- not mention American lives -- on the war in order to benefit Halliburton, Bush would have to be a psychopath. That the Halliburton charge has become a chief Democratic critique of the war is another sign of the party's descent into unhinged ravings."
