Cheney Halliburton Misconceptions

Halliburton is the company you call if you need some power lines or a pipe line setup through a minefield right now. They get no bid contracts because no one else can do what they do. Bill Clinton frequenty used Halliburton while he was in office and Hillary will use them when she is President.

Not exactly the whole truth. One of the subsidary companies of Haliburton KBR, did nothing more than provide meals, do laundry and police as in clean up the garbage on military installations. You want me to believe they are the only firm capable of doing that?

Because Bill used them doesn't make it right.

some further information on Haliburton:

Notably, in March of 2005, a former Halliburton purchasing employee and a managing partner of a Kuwaiti firm were indicted for a kickback scheme through which U.S. taxpayers were billed more than $5.5 million for work that should have cost only $680,000. As a result, during several hearings held by the House Committee on Government Reform on Iraq Reconstruction, Congressman Lynch repeatedly asked Department of Defense officials whether all contracts in Iraq involving these two individuals were under review. After receiving unsatisfactory responses from the Department, Congressman Lynch then introduced the Iraq Contracting Fraud Review Act, legislation requiring DOD to review all reconstruction contracts involving former contractor employees or federal officials that have been indicted or convicted for contracting abuses.
