Halliburton unit KBR pleaded guilty last year in the US to bribing Nigerian officials to the tune of 180 million dollars in return for six billion dollars worth of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) contracts in the oil hub Bonny Island. Halliburton denied involvement in the offences dating back to 1995-2005, but a top company official and other staff were summoned by Nigeria’s anti-graft agency following raids last week on company offices in Lagos. Prosecutor Godwin Obla said joint charges would be filed by Tuesday at a high court in the capital Abuja against Cheney, the former and current leadership of Halliburton, and the consortium they partnered with. “As the CEO of Halliburton, he has the responsibility for acts that occurred during that period,” Obla told AFP, adding that Cheney would face conspiracy charges and an arrest warrent from Interpol would be sought.

It’s funny how most of the people who r talking shit here about Cheney are the same people who voted for Bush and his assassins in 2004. America is full of hypocrite douche-bags!!!
@YukonCornelius1776 lol. That tirade was silly and factually wrong.
@YukonCornelius1776 that just proves that the us is a dirty dirty country. not the people that live in the country i love americans .. they are kind and nice to everyone. i am reffering to the goverment. over 3/4 of the Iraq military that had smile s wiped off theeir face in minutes is because they were almost all innocent civilians. way to go america!!!
I’m nigerian. I was reading through the comments and at first I got angry and then I got sad. Please understand that its just less than 1% of nigerians that are scammers. Nigeria is a pretty big country(150M people). The scammers(who happen to be nigerian) scam us too. Its not fair that we are being blamed for their actions just cos they happened to be born here.
Please like this comment if you’re against generalizations(and subsequent racism) so EVERYONE can read it. Thanks!
@TheSeaMyst Obama is just as much a criminal as Bush. He bailed out banks and so forth, Left and Right are all crooks!
@MyTemporaryAccount88 if you’re going to that, I suggest you drop him off smack dab in the middle of Bagdad, Iraq! They would burn him alive in public!
George W bush is a criminal Dick Chenney is a criminal I hate him and my son will not be going to any school that teaches that he was a good president he is a killer running loose thats what he is a criminal and he will kill again they all do!
@willia3r That would make it funnier. The whole bounty thing being part of a scam and he still ends up in Nigeria.
Dick Cheney seems to be getting more ill, and for all the suffering he caused in the world, I don’t think I can say that it’s up to me to forgive him. I’m just glad that in the end he stood up for the rights of his daughter to get married. That showed where his heart really was. Good for him.
If WikiLeaks had been around in 2001, could the events of 9/11 have been prevented? The idea is worth considering.
@YukonCornelius1776 You haven’t really paid attention to what I have said. You have basically repeated your previous comments that still contain the same flaws that I highlighted.
@YukonCornelius1776 It is only show. Let’s see you try and bully China. Even a small cluster of European allies could beat you and, let’s face it, who is going to rush to be your ally?
@Finiras .

so what? everyone owes everyone else a whole shitload of money besides china. nobody ever pays it, its like monopoly money. its all bullshit. and who the fuck do we owe money to anyway? china? good luck collecting that. they need us buying their shit more than we need their shit.
.
the USA’s power is a show only? tell that to iraq. they had the 4th largest military on the planet before we rolled in an wiped that grin off their face in about two minutes.

It is too big to fail. any country that can destroy the planet 100 times over is too big to fail. we can fall pretty far, but we cant fail. they are not a freak show for trying to seek justice. they are a freak show because they are stupid enough to bite the hand that feeds. we like their oil but we do not need their oil, we can get oil from other places, they are the ones that need us to buy their oil. otherwise their whole system falls apart.
@YukonCornelius1776 america is heavily dependent on and indebted to many countries in the world. it’s “power” is a show only and multinationals that don’t give a rats ass about americans decide what happens in the US.
What say we kidnap Cheney and release him in Nigeria? I mean, he’s not going to complain about us kidnapping him and taking him to another country where he’ll go to jail?
@YukonCornelius1776 Your comments are simplistic and vapid. Also, the fact you refer to another country as a ‘freak show’ for trying to uphold its laws shows that you are another symbol of American egotism. America is not too big to fail as has been shown by the last oil embargo and believe me, there is enough demand worldwide for oil ,without Americas consumption.
@zebbedi
.
what?
.
“Do they dare show such disrespect to Nigeria”. yes we do. they are a two bit freak show in Africa with oil as their only saving grace. if they don’t sell it to us they starve.
.
You cant oust the USA from the world stage. we have gotten to what i like to call “critical mass” (figuratively of course) we are powerful enough that we simply cannot be refused. china is the other at critical mass at this point. Russia was at one point but they threw that away.
.
@YukonCornelius1776 Exactly, the implications of ignoring a red notice only highlights America’s egotism. Do America dare imply that Cheney is un-arrestable and do they dare show such disrespect to Nigeria? Just another reason to oust the USA from western political procedure. Also, do you think anybody in the west is going to stop buying oil? If OPEC enforce another oil embargo on the US during these hard economic times the US economy will collapse.
Whenever someone says Dick Cheney I always think of “cheney’s got a gun”
Lets kidnap cheney and dump his fat ass in Nigeria!!
Chainy snake will get you if you don’t watch out.
Watch out for the chainy snake!
Chainy snake is cold and slimy, oh, so cold.
So cold is the chainy snake!
Thank goodness someone is getting this dirtbag arrested.
@Sorry4DoublePosting You know you’re a fail when you make lame jokes that nobody finds funny, especially when they are racist jokes.
we should have a national holiday to celebrate
