Cheney’s oil company in shady business deals with Iraq.

Project Underground is a non-profit watchdog in Berkeley, California tracking the global mining and oil industry. The announcement of Dick Cheney as the Republican running mate for George Bush makes the oil industry’s triumvirate in mainstream US politics complete. With George W. himself, and Al Gore Jr., handsomely in the sway of Enron Corporation and Occidental Petroleum respectively, the missing step is for the Democrats to nominate a professional petroleum politician for their Vice Presidential candidate.
“Dick Cheney was well known as the man behind the bombing in Iraq, but what is not so well known is the money he has made and the work he has continued to do in Big Oil’s interest since then,” said Lwazi Kubukeli, Project Underground’s Program Coordinator.
