2. They won't give the contract to "Halliburton". . .
as I'm sure Halliburton will give it's New Orleans operation a cover name to hide their involvement.

3. Halliburton is an offshore company. Any money they make in the US they
will have to pay taxes on. They'd loose too much money. Better to stay in Iraq without oversight.

5. I just was saying this to my hubby...
You'll see all his buddies with no bid contracts... Not to mention the waiving of the Clean Air Act's restrictions...
