A report recently published by CorpWatch details the multi-million dollar profits being made on Iraq reconstruction by Halliburton, the corporation for which Dick Cheney was the chief executive up until he became Vice President, and which still pays him up to a million dollars a year. Prior to the invasion, Halliburton was already lined up to receive a package contract deal from the federal government worth up to a billion dollars.

The link above doesn't outline profits, only revenues.

Kellogg, Brown and Root is the best in the world at what they do. Why wouldn't you want the US government to hire the best?

The only other oil infrastructure company in the same league as Halliburton is a French company. Obviously, US tax money shouldn't go to a French company if there is a good (better) US alternative.

So tell me what alternatives you would propose. Please don't say "we should never have had the war" -- I'm asking you to propose a scenario given the current situation.

The first option would to allow bidding from competitors. That would represent this groovy thing called capitalism, instead of nepotism. I don't buy that Halliburton is 'the best'. Their books are cooked by Anderson and they have had to settle fraud suits by the U.S. government for overbilling. They're 'the best'? Give me a break. There is only one clear option - either Dick Cheney back away from his affiliation with Halliburton and his subsequent profiting from war, or he leave office.

"Kellogg, Brown and Root is the best in the world at what they do."

Your psychosis bores me. From now on, I will restrict my statements of the obvious to once per thread. For you to see this as any sort of victory on your part would be a mistake, yet I expect that is exactly what you will do.

For you to deny the obvious is an indication of the depth of your illness. And for you to expect others to believe your denials is more evidence. You truly think that everyone is as stupid as you believe, when in fact, you are outthought at every turn.

Your illness is sad. It must be awful to be locked in your head. I suggest treatment for pathological lying and/or multiple personalities. Your cowardice is another challenge that might be overcome with therapy. The stupidity, however, is just something you're going to have to live with.

Who's getting rich?

Remember that the "capitalists" gain when their investment appreciates. At this point, their investment is worth about as much as it was during Clinton's first term.
