Big Surprise...Haliburton gets well fire contract
« on: March 25, 2003, 09:00:08 AM »
It is impressive that they are not even trying to be transparent.  Incredible arrogance!

http://money.cnn.com/2003/03/25/news/companies/war_contracts/index.htm

What is worse is that Haliburton's subsidiary that "won" the contract, KBR, is not even going to be the ones doing the work...they are just going to be a middle-man.

"Q. Will the firefighters be KBR employees or will the services be subcontracted?

A. KBR will subcontract firefighting services to two companies: Boots & Coots International Well Control, Inc. and Wild Well Control, Inc." http://www.halliburton.com/news/faq.jsp

So why are we paying Vice-President Cheney's former employer to contract with someone else?  Doesn't that just cost the taxpayers more money??

Dear ignorant, shrieking Lefties:

Halliburton ought to win the contract.  They are the largest and most competent oil well SERVICE company in the world with a lot of experience in the Middle East.   Halliburton has decades of experience in  oil well cementing, high-pressure reservoir "fracts", , blow-out prevention, provides equipment for oil well firefighting services, production facility construction, and other oil well services.   Halliburton DOESN'T  produce oil, or sell crude on the market.

And George Bush and Family owned one of the biggest barge towing companies for the transportation"chemical, LPG and Petroleum and Dry Cargo's"....Hollywood Marine, wich was sold to fund his Presidential Campaign when he ran....KBR, "Kellogg Brown and Root" is a Subsidary of Haliburton.

And if you ever work in the Chemical/Oil Business...you would be surprised that MANY companies have there finger in smaller companies to back funding and keep contracts manopolized. <--Spelling? LOL

Ahhhh The Circle of Life.........

isnt it funny how things go around? kind of convinient isnt it?

It's all about who you know.

How many jobs have you gotten because of who you know?
I've gotten a few.
