"Iran and Libya Sanctions Act"
"ILSA included a five-year
sunset clause and was to expire on August 5, 2001."
"ILSA was renewed by the Congress and signed by President
George W. Bush.
[5] ILSA was renewed for another five years,
[6] until August 2006."
"In 2005, the Iran Freedom Support bill was introduced in both
houses to extend the provisions of ILSA indefinitely"
"On July 25, 2006, bill H.R. 5877, to extend ILSA until September 29, 2006, was introduced in the House, and passed the next day by
voice vote. It was passed by the Senate by
unanimous consent on July 31, and was signed into law by
President George W. Bush on August 4, 2006."
Right... so, Bush TWICE signed an extension of the Iran and Libya Sanctions Act, and you think Cheney was hired by Halliburton to stop such a thing?
Afghanistan was about a lot of things. However why would the US stay in Afghanistan so long? The oil pipeline never happened. Afghanistan was way too unstable for such a thing, the Taliban would have just kept blowing it up. And yet the US stayed under three presidents. Ever see a map of Iran?

In order to invade they might want to attack from both sides. But they never got Afghanistan stable enough to stand a chance. Bush and his team thought Iraq would be won very quickly, it wasn't, because of Iran, and they might have thought they could put a puppet govt in Afghanistan and the same thing. Simplistic nonsense from Bush.
