Seen on the FoxNews website

Here are some (not all) questions from Fox News columnist and Cato
Institute policy analyst Radley Balko to Republican nominee for VP
Dick Cheney

First question should interest those who claim a meek and obedient
America deferred to the UN after GW1 to leave S. Hussein in power.
Second question should interest those who claim that media stories
about questionable business practises by Halliburton are lying liberal
lickspittle lies.
Third question should interest those who claim that only the Democrats
are to blame for the state of the US military.

In 1991, you gave a speech in which you said the first President Bush
was correct to leave Saddam Hussein in power, given the ethnic
tensions in Iraq. In fact you said it would be nearly impossible to
impose a democracy there, and that it would have been a mistake for us
to get bogged down in the quagmire inside Iraq. Granted, the Sept. 11
terrorist attacks changed the way we look at the world, but what has
changed in Iraq in the last 13 years that now makes you optimistic we
can build a liberal society there?

Last January, 60 Minutes reported that as CEO of Halliburton in the
1990s, you set up a subsidiary of the company in the Cayman Islands to
help the country of Iran extract and process oil - an effort to get
around U.S. State Department restrictions on U.S. businesses
transacting with countries that sponsor terrorism. That subsidiary is
still operating, and does about $40 million worth of business with
Iran each year. As vice president of the Untied States and former
head of the company, will you ask Halliburton to stop doing business
with a country President Bush has designated a charter member of the
'axis of evil?'

You’ve accused Sen. John Kerry of repeatedly voting against defense
and intelligence spending increases over his career in the U.S.
Senate, but as Secretary of Defense, you moved to de-activate two army
divisions; in 1991, you called for reducing the military by 200,000
active and reserved duty troops over two years, and 700,000 over five
years. You also cut then, or the Bush administration has cut since,
many of the same military programs and projects you’re now chastising
Kerry for voting against. How can you attack Kerry for positions that
you appear to have at one point supported?

I see you didn't give his reply, either.

I also see that you didn't locate Cheney's replies yourself.
