Biden's Halliburton

The famous lefty myth has it that the Bush administration went to war for oil. And, the ultimate villian in the left's eyes, Dick Cheney benefited from the work his old employer Haliburton was doing in the Iraqi oil fields. Charges never proven, both forever etched in the lefty's consciousness.

Of course, as is always the case with those folks, the truth no longer matters, the charge does the damage they seek. And they find that satisfying. So satisfying that it is no longer necessary that our government employees keep clean hands. After all, now the hands that are in the cookie jar belong to Democrats.

What happened here is clear -- Joe Biden advocated policies in Iraq that his adviser Galbraith also advocated. Galbraith profited handsomely off those policies through close ties to oil companies.

But you won't hear chants of Darth Biden from the liberal papers, such as the NYT.
