A chummy discussion between Vice President Mike Pence and former vice president Dick Cheney quickly turned into a vigorous back-and-forth over President Donald Trump's foreign policy at a private gathering on Saturday, with Cheney comparing the president's instincts to those of his Democratic predecessor Barack Obama, according to a transcript obtained by The Washington Post. At the closed-door retreat hosted by the American Enterprise Institute on March 9 in Sea Island, Georgia, Cheney respectfully but repeatedly and firmly pressed Pence on a number of the president's foreign policy moves - over which Cheney expressed concerns - from taking a harder line toward U.S. allies in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to deciding to withdraw troops from Syria during what Cheney fretted was "the middle of a phone call."

That’s the fortune LBJ stole and the Johnson Family still lives off of decades later.

Yep, when you go back it includes M. W. Kellogg started in 1901. Then acquired by Dresser industries. All these relations now owned by Halliburton have been contracting to the military since before WWII.

FDR was involved in the contract scams also... This is old blood MIC here...

No argument from me. it was a strategic blunder of the order of the Syracuse venture that Athens executed in the Peloponesses war. They lost their fleet, which was the backbone on their Aegean empiare, lost their empire, lost their sovereignty, freedom and indepence.

I hit McCain up about these truths on Twitter one time during the gun running and linked to my Domain and website showing all the connections including McCain, Graham, the Bushes, Cheney, Feinstein, Clinton, and Obama. Within hours I got hit with a DDOS attack and I traced it back with some help from my server host and the attacks came from two sources. The DOD and the NIC. Wonder who put them up to this? lol

Needles to say, I backed off for awhile...
