Now, CMG, that just absolutely has to be overlooked or the fun stops.Originally posted by church mouse guy:
This is a non-starter. We have had 5 years of this. No one has ever been able to name another company that could have done a better job or that even wanted some of those contracts.
Can you prove that? I am willing to listen but I want proof.Originally posted by church mouse guy:

Working for Halliburton is very dangerous in Iraq. It is just more Bush Bashing by the Bashing Baptists of the Baptist Board.

You've pretty much summed up the total of all views of just about every president during his tenure.Originally posted by Magnetic Poles:
Views of W sure can vary. OR thinks he is exceptionally good, I believe he is the worst president in my lifetime, and perhaps in the history of the republic.

I know the yellow dog Bushies will say this is ethical, but for the rest of us, imagine this scenario. Let's say you are President. First you break Iraq and award contracts to your buddies. Now you take advantage of a natural disaster to line the pockets of your pals with "the people's money". I guess when Bush talked about "the people's money" we forgot to ask "which people" he thought it belonged to!

White House connections attract renewed attention from watchdog groups

Companies with ties to the Bush White House and the former head of FEMA are clinching some of the administration's first disaster relief and reconstruction contracts in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
At least two major corporate clients of lobbyist Joe Allbaugh, President George W. Bush's former campaign manager and a former head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, have already been tapped to start recovery work along the battered Gulf Coast.
One is Shaw Group Inc. and the other is Halliburton Co. subsidiary Kellogg Brown and Root. Vice President Dick Cheney is a former head of Halliburton.

Historians will not view him as anything but a disaster, and the repurcussions of his administration will cause untold harm for decades to come.

What is this company's business?
They go into devastated areas and rebuild, on a massive scale.
Almost no other company in the world specializes in this. No one else does what Haliburton does.
So of COURSE they are going to get the bid for the rebuilding of Iraq, and of COURSE they are going to be a part of rebuilding along the Gulf Coast!
Top Competitors
http://www.hoovers.com/halliburton-company/--ID__10697--/free-co-factsheet.xhtmlBechtel
Schlumberger
Technip
There are 34 competitors for Halliburton; see more.
TIP: Analyze the Competitive Landscape to view a head-to-head comparison of a firm's profitability, operations, growth, and valuation versus that of its top three competitors.
But anyway, Bechtel also has ties to the Bush administration AND the bin Laden family. Google it. You'll find out.Whether the job is raising an entire city or razing a nuclear power plant, you can bet the Bechtel Group will be there to bid on the business. The firm is the US's #1 contractor (ahead of Fluor). The engineering, construction, and project management firm operates worldwide and has participated in such notable projects as the construction of Hoover Dam and the cleanup of the Chernobyl nuclear plant. Subsidiary Bechtel Enterprises invests in infrastructure projects and arranges financing for its clients. The group is in its fourth generation of leadership by the Bechtel family, with chairman and CEO Riley Bechtel at the helm. The billionaire Bechtel family owns a controlling stake in the firm.
That's the problem...it was done without bidding.Originally posted by bapmom:
