What deals did Cheney "sweetheart" Haliburton?
The no-contest contract in Iraq? Nope. Haliburton was the only company with enough resources and people to take on the job. It wasn't a question of Cheney just giving it to Haliburton. Haliburton was the only company that would be able to handle it.
I personally am not sure of any other deals, but I am sure you will let me know

Okay we hear this "they were the only company that could do it" explanation everytime. Is that true? There is not a single other company in the world that could do it? I find it hard to believe, but I'm certainly no expert in the matter. Is there any proof?[/b][/quote]
From
factcheck.org:
GAO Report: For example, the Army Corps of Engineers properly awarded a sole-source contract for rebuilding Iraq's oil infrastructure to the only contractor that was determined to be in a position to provide the services within the required time frame.
