Here we go with Halliburton again
- Thread starter flavio
- Start date
There are not very many fires in iraq supposedly right now. That may be one reason they dropped it. How much money can they make on like 5 oil wells burning?
Anyway as for contracts? Gore sold his own company, Occidental petroleum, the United States "Elk Hills Naval Oil Reserve"(what a guy) for 3.9 billion in 1997~1999. It was the largest amount of land sold by the government ever apparently. So what if companies the government is chummy with gets certain contracts. Both sides do it so if you are going to bitch you gotta bitch about them all.
the haliburton deal has not been done yet but certainly the naval oil reserve has. I doubt haliburton wants anything to do with it. No matter how much money they could make.

Haliburton was dropped, though it may be participating in subcontracting capacities...
who knows?...but it was so utterly asinine to suggest that this was a war about oil, or reconstruction..or anything else along those lines that even the left is no longer chanting the party line....
..it's all but over....Hollywood was wrong..the left was wrong....Sidewalk vomiters were wrong...NION was wrong....
there WEREN'T 100,000 Iraqi dead..and there WEREN'T 50,000 US troops killed...and there WASN'T genocide..yeah that's right...genocide like the Not In Our Name signs read.
..and no there WASN'T American Revenge (as predicted by NION signage)) and no there WASN'T Inevitable DOOM for US forces (as Jeaneane Garoffalo predicted)
and they all know it...and I hope they feel the deep personal shame they should ....
...fact , and lets face it,...this IS a fact...NOTHING the protest contingent said would happen has come to pass...and nothing the Hollywood cowards said would happen has come to pass...and in fact, the action was conducted in a manner above and beyond what should have been considered....
...oh I know , someone will quote Ghandi about how the dead will not appreciate the "liberation"
well..the other 25 million people left alive will sure as shit appreciate it...and in the end, that's what matters
I said about 3 weeks ago that in the end , all that was said about the Iraqi regime would be proven true....
it will...
see the reports over the next month or so, leftists...read 'em from the left OR the right....from the American OR the Arabic perspective..you won't be able to argue....
read 'em and weep...

The article I posted is from 4/11. Apparently Haliburton is still in the mix.

Bullshit, much of it has come to pass and I hope and some point all the pro-war people feel deep personal shame about it.
But in the end you're just ranting ....while this thread is about Halliburton yet again getting some shady deals that you would prefer to ignore
