He gave up his highly lucrative position as CEO of Halliburton in 2000 to run for U.S. Vice President, Haliburton has made at least $39.5 billion in Iraq since the invasion of occupation, he profited more as the relatively low paid VP by pushing the country in another war
He was the main architect of the invasion and occupation and was a large factor in the pushing of knowingly false information like ‘Mohammed Atta met with Iraqi intelligence’ which is completely false but helped cement the connection between Iraq and 9/11 in the eyes of enough of the public that they were able to invade without too much domestic resistance
Enabled and later excused the ‘enhanced interrogation’ torture of detainees specifically in those in Guantanamo, he publicly stated waterboarding and other even worse techniques were ‘absolutely necessary’
He also got away with shooting one of his friends so you know he’s also a dick on a personal level too
