Have you ever seen any bids take place? No you haven't.. that's why call them "no bid" contracts. Hence the reason Halliburton has no competition.


There are many US companies that can Handel base operations contracts. You think Halliburton does them all here in the US? No they don't, because there is open bidding on them with public scrutiny. Yet Halliburton is the only on that gets them in Iraq with no bids and no open books for the the tax payers to see.

Sorry, that's just not the case. Do a simple google search and you'll easily find contracts awarded (after having been bid) to other companies who are now (and have been for a long time) in Iraq.  It's easy for anyone with a grudge against Halliburton/Cheney to say something like that; it's just not the truth though.

Many, many contracts have been awarded over there.  Many, many contracts have gone to companies other than Halliburton. 

*edit* oh, I see the back & forth about not finding information to post, so I guess you can disregard.
But off hand, I could probably name more than 100 contract companies (not including Halliburton/KBR), all of which are there as a result of having bid on contracts.

Yes there are other companies, but most of them are subsidiaries of Halliburton.. KBR  for example is one of them.

Cheney got a gazillion dollars and divested himself of Halliburton nearly a decade ago, and it's not their fault they are bigger than all the other companies combined in their area of expertise. Get over it
Is that all they talk about on Daily Kos? It's like complaining that the government buys airplanes from Boeing

<edit: Fergot-- KBR is no longer part part of the evil empire, about a year now--someone at the Kos needs to be informed>

Actually, in my previous post, note the bold line:

Is he even still alive?
When was the last time anyone has even seen him? LMAO

Doesn't Cheney have a show on the Outdoor channel?

I heard something about pheasant hunting awile back.

I love the dead horse smiley! You should forward it to Skuzzy and see if he'll add it to the list.

You know Hillary keeps saying she is going to tax excess profits of about every successful business. Maybe she should pay about 90 million in taxes this year for excess profits.


 :rofl



PS. I think she invested in all those businesses she is attacking.
