I don't think that was ever in their game plan. After all Cheney has said several times that the war could last up to 30 years. We will not leave there until every last drop of oil has been sucked out of the ground.
Cheney made sure when he was in congress that Halliburton/KBR would be guaranteed contracts for them to build all kinds of construction needs, as well as starting the program that Halliburton supply the US troops their meals.
When he became the CEO of Halliburton he personally went and lobby congress to be able to do business in countries that the US had sanctions against. When congress went against Cheney he found away around that and did business with these countries any ways. Just so you can reference the countries Iran, Iraq, and Libya. He is also responsible for off shore contracts. Before he was named the CEO, Halliburton only had 9 off shore accounts. After he became CEO, Halliburton obtained 44 off shore accounts. I guess that's what he meant when he said Halliburton was able to use very creative accounting.
He also made sure Halliburton could win all the no bid contracts without any problems from any and all competitors.
So, Cheney has been working with terrorist nations for his whole life.
