Now we know why Cheney was selected to be Dubya's VP and why Cheney was the invisible man during Bush's eight years in office and why Cheney showed virtually no interest in running for president in 2008. Cheney was not VP to serve his country; he used his office to get rich.
@@adamsavage4155 It's one thing to get rich through politics and another to get rich through war. These chickenhawks who avoided serving in Vietnam sent young kids to war where many died so they can make millions. That IMO is a war crime. Cheney and Co are some of the world's biggest unhung charlatans.
@@georgfriedrichhandel4390 I've just grown to have a disdain and distrust for all modern politicians. Party lines don't matter anymore. It's all about the money.
@@adamsavage4155 Yes many politicians are corrupt. The late John McCain said it best when he said, "We came to Washington to change it and instead, Washington changed us". But I blame the system more than the people because ever since the 2000 elections, people don't have a clear choice anymore. Both parties decide who will be their nominee; it's not determined by the voters anymore. Just look at 2016. Voters would have preferred Sanders but most states had closed primaries which assured a Clinton victory. The result was that 90 million voters just stayed at home because they didn't like either major candidate. As they say, if you don't like the rules, hate the game not the players.
Just look at the smirks on these peoples faces as they talk, knowing damn well the pulled of one of the biggest scams in history and knowing damn well non of them will ever face prosecution, it's called dupers delight

@@jeffrose2105 you have no idea how war works. Veterans do the same jobs. For a penny of the cost. Veterans will go home with the same ptsd as any other contractor, and get paid $3400 a month for the rest of their lives. If you come home at 25years old. And live until your 65. That’s 40 years X $40k+ = 1.6million. And that’s just one benefit. Not including the danger and tax free money he or she made serving at the time. Not including the GI bill, housing help, Va loans etc. so yes. Feel bad for making $35k and getting millions in benefits. Yet the contractor went there for 1 year MAYBE, just MAYBE he was lucky to make 80k that year, and go home with PTSD and say good luck. And if they die out there, they won’t get any press about it.

60 Minutes is probably the only real news and the best investigative journalism out of the U.S. We're gonna miss Steve Kroft -- one of the best journalists in the world by any measure. Kudus to you, sir.
APRIL 27, 2003 - WOW! No one can blame this on Trump now can they. All career politicians and their buddies, makes no difference if your Democrat or Republican. They are all part of the same’ol country club.
This kind of stuff is in the "too big to fail" catagory. Meaning we're on a run away train and we can't stop it. Our society is going to crash. Its just a matter of time.
The bad thing about this is not the lack of transparency and the enrichment, the bad thing is that it affects how many people die in wars and if there are wars at all. And despite all of that, those enriching themselves maybe even feel smart and smug about it.
No comparison except the cadence is a trade mark of Don Hewitt. They are all taught to over enunciate, like they're talking to retards. Kroft is the best. Wallace is odious.
@@HighSpeedNoDrag : Didnt call any of them retards. Said they talked like they were speaking to retards. News-speak is fake and everybody knows it. What's it to ya what I said anyhow?
2977 american lives = 60 billion dollars to the friends and family of the U.S. government. I'm not a conspiracy theorist so with an open mind this still looks shady and possibly criminal.
I think it should be illegal for ex-military to work in private sector as consultants or be paid employees. The nobility of the service is sullied by this culling and wrangling for inside pull. In the end the entire business of war is fully embedded in government far beyond all necessity. It pays to get into fights and cause trouble. And to have these hawks running the show we are forced to pay for it in every sense of the word.
They created the war in Iraq to profit from it & remember no one can do anything about it all you can say is shame on you for taking innocent women & children life's
On the other part about logistics and quartermastering, the army has the capability to set up tents, cooks, and combat engineers to do all this. I see now how and why some of these duties were outsourced. Alot of contractors and sub contractors cashed in on the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
No mention of things here, like Di-Fi's husband, Richard Blum, receiving a billion dollar high- speed rail contract in the state where she's a Senator.
The US should not be in business on what’s best for that company regarding logistics. The job should’ve been given to the lowest bidder. Once that company gets the contract it is their problem for logistics and personnel they need to satisfy the contract now

Hey 60 minute Australia are you able to find out the murderer of former Nepal King Brendra and his family who was killed by unknown person it was still a mystery if you are able to find and solve this case and make a short film in your 60 minute channel it will be a great and I will guarantee the success of ur channel Best of luck!!!!!
That's the true meaning of "Democracy", money and power in the possesion of a few, in effect, the new version of slavery, the populace "earning" barely enough to stay alive and "hopeful", relying on "religion" for "miracles", living off "dreams", that are "made to come true" for the new recruits.
They used alot of people from third world countries to maximise their profits. I speak from experience because i along my fellow comrades were in iraq when this was going on.
Conflict of interest on every level
Sweetheart contract, there's no other name for it, like the man from the Center for Public Integrity said.
It's the American way
The last time we saw actual journalism investigating a meaningful topic.
60 minutes is still good. It's on every Sunday
Steve Kroft was a Awesome investigative Journalist!
Leroy Worsley,
" I agree with you on this one ! "
I watch 60 mins every Sunday . I have to say his reports are good . Very good !

He's the best there is right now
Is awsome!

It's secret because it's classified. Well that makes perfect sense. Nothing to see here folks. I'm sure there will be no cost overruns. 🤔

Snake oil salesman. Those Generals should be ashamed.

If you took the time to watch this clip, I strongly suggest that you watch "Vice", made by the same folks that made "The Big Short."
War profiteering for a few and nobody does anything about it.
Complete control...
60 Minutes is the best.
How convenient that this company met all the requirements needed for a secret job. My my. I'm totally convinced.🤔

brought to you by: private military, prisons, limited healthcare options, and a vast war on drugs that does nothing! mmmm!

60 Minutes the show where based on the thumbnail you can't tell whether the episode is 10 days or 10 years old.
Every crooked company seems to also have lobbyist! hmmm
And zionist jews.
The fact that they are smiling when they say this, disturbing
Wicked man just wicked
If there are no cameras around to shine a good light on the “good work” being done then it better have billions of dollars to be made contracted!!

Outright ridiculous
This sums up there mentality, you can't just steal the money so let's create situations were we get hired for the money.
Very strange indeed
at 5:31 the ? is who classified it that would get you all your answer of corruption/conflict of interest.
I cant tell you what i know !
They always keep it within the families.
Was anyone prosecuted for this?
Lets not forget Lovett inc.
Of course he was unavailable
No mention of things here, like Di-Fi's husband, Richard Blum, receiving a billion dollar high- speed rail contract in the state where she's a Senator.

Double dipping. Kellogg Brown and Root was cooking for soldiers in Iraq, while Army cooks sat around and did nothing.

It is classified, meaning, we do not want you to know. What could be classidied about well fires.
How convenient!

They are also very good at bribery and corruption. I know about them from what they did in Nigeria.
And you wonder why there is so much distrust for the Government. This may be one big reason.
Even though this shows a little of the truth, 60 minutes is under the thumb of the true controllers.
A classified contract between an American company and the American Govt building things overseas with American tax dollars. Corruption much?
looks like these guys took the Mafia's model and ramped it up a couple of levels
Government Corruption is always Classified!
@oneviwatara Exactly, and you're right
The amount of money wasted in Iraq was crazy.
Politicians and high ranking Military officers get jobs to either help or because they helped companies make money with their influence
Military industrial complex? Sounds pretty close too what President Eisenhower warned us about. Sought or unsought.
How much Cheney made is classified.
Um thanks.
Drain the swamp!
Show from 2003
We are still dealing with these crimes.
Cheney is just a small step below Trump when it comes to lying publicly
What has Trump done that’s anywhere near comparable to these two monsters?
If they're not rich when they enter politics, they are when they leave.
Watch Fahrenheit 9/11 if you want to learn more about how Halliburton *benefited* from the Iraq war.
They used alot of people from third world countries to maximise their profits. I speak from experience because i along my fellow comrades were in iraq when this was going on.
Politics is everything
Freedom of information act, legally justified....
Corruption aside, there's nothing left of Iraq. All of those money was a waste.
