You should see the political garbage Halliburton (AKA Brown & Root, AKA Kellogg Brown & Root AKA Brown & Root Services) used to do:
From an online article dated 2000 (before September 11th 2001 or Gulf War II/Iraq War II)
| quote: | Originally posted by the texasobserver.org online article titled "The Candidate from Brown and Root
...From 1962 to 1972, for instance, the company worked in the former South Vietnam building roads, landing strips, harbors and military bases. Later in 1992, the Pentagon gave the company an additional $5 million to update its report. That same year, Brown & Root won a five-year logistics contract from the United States Army Corps of Engineers to work alongside American GIs in places like Zaire, Haiti, Somalia, Kosovo, the Balkans and Saudi Arabia....

thats funny...but isn't that first washinton post link kinda old? |

also, the first CBS link is nothing new or surprising (big energy and infrastructure doing business in the worlds largest oil regions)
the second link is actually pretty flattering to H-burton and describes, quite fairly, how they're an integral part of the effort in Iraq
the CNN link is in the history books
...and Haliburton.org is...well...bias to no end. but interesting. |

| the point of the thread was to spark a discussion about halliburton, but if you feel like discussing the random articles i posted (from a simple google search), then have fun. |

well what exactly then do you want to discuss?
because i'll tell ya, that it was pretty irresponsible to post outdated links and think they have any bearing on a current discussion.
BTW do you really think imokruok is contributing to Cheney's pockets? you would be wrong you know? |

*Sigh* Jesus H. Christ, some people.
how do news articles from the past not have any bearing on current discussions? lol. do you dismiss anything not written the day of? below are some current links.
i wrote "halliburton, any thoughts?" then provided links i found on the first page of my google search. exingscuse me if the links dont fit your taste...why dont you post some in reply? im sure imokruok's investments are miniscule, so you're probably right, he isn't really contributing to cheney's pockets.
p.s. if i remove the links will you stop whining?

Can you explain how he would be lining Cheney's pockets since Cheney doesn't hold a material interest in the company anymore? Even if Imokurok happens to be a multi-billion dollar investor, the only people really profiting by his buying and selling stock are the commission brokers who handle the transactions. You obviously don't have a very clear understanding of how business and stocks work. |
