Did Cheney ever sell his Halliburton shares?

Yes he did, at a loss by the way, when he resigned as CEO when he accepted the offer of running for VP........

Paul is full of crap, the reason we didn't go into Baghdad is because we were working under UN orders......and those orders were to rid Kuwait of Hussein only.

Well, he made all that back, and more, when he stole the gold from the World Trade Center, had the goat concession at Gitmo and made that deal with the extraterrestrials... [guffaw]

“Yes he did, at a loss by the way”

A quick search led me to this:

A report by the Congressional Research Service undermines Vice President Dick Cheney’s denial of a continuing relationship with Halliburton Co., the energy company he once led, Sen. Frank Lautenberg said Thursday.

The report says a public official’s unexercised stock options and deferred salary fall within the definition of “retained ties” to his former company.

Cheney said Sunday on NBC that since becoming vice president, “I’ve severed all my ties with the company, gotten rid of all my financial interest. I have no financial interest in Halliburton of any kind and haven’t had, now, for over three years.”

Democrats pointed out that Cheney receives deferred compensation from Halliburton under an arrangement he made in 1998, and also retains stock options. He has pledged to give after-tax proceeds of the stock options to charity.

So, did Cheney donate the proceeds from the ties he said he didn’t have, to charity? Which one? This is typical left wing BS. He lied, got caught and probably lied again.
