Dick Cheney |
"[Cheney] said he was unaware that the subsidiaries were
doing business with the Iraqi regime when Halliburton
purchased Dresser Industries in September
1998... We inherited two joint ventures with Ingersoll-Rand
that were selling some parts into Iraq," Cheney
explained, "but we divested ourselves of those interests."^ |

Iraq contracts |
"... More than $2.5 million in contracts between Ingersoll
Dresser Pump Co. and Iraq ... were blocked by the Clinton
administration. They included agreements by the firm to
sell $760,000 in spare parts, compressors and firefighting equipment
to refurbish an offshore oil terminal, Khor al Amaya... The
Persian Gulf terminal was badly damaged during the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq
War and later was destroyed by allied warplanes during Operation
Desert Storm. At the time, Cheney was secretary of defense."
