>Meanwhile, "Halliburton" seems to be a real bogeyman to the left. Have you ever bothered to learn anything about the company? You might have a read over their annual reports before yelping about their profits.>
>It is not about the profits. It is about the iffy situations of the many no-bid contracts for well-connected companies like Halliburton, Bechtel, et al. It does pay to be connected, doesn't it? Who cares if the law is followed and if the taxpaying public interest is served?
I'm not particularly happy about no-bid contracts either, but are there any other companies qualified to do the work? None that I'm aware of.
I don't own Halliburton stock and I don't work for them. I'm just tired of the BS coming from the left about their "war profiteering".
