Halliburton getting out of Iran

[ck4829]

Halliburton said all of the commitments of its subsidiary doing business in Iran have been completed and it is no longer working in the country.

In January 2005, the company once headed by U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney announced it would not accept new work in Iran but would complete its existing contracts there.

The U.S. Department of Justice subpoenaed documents from Halliburton in July 2004 for an investigation into the legality of contracts its Cayman Islands-registered Halliburton Products & Services Ltd unit held for work with the state-run National Iranian Oil Company.

U.S. companies are forbidden under U.S. law from doing business in Iran dating back to sanctions imposed after the 1979 Islamic revolution when student fundamentalists held 52 American hostages for 444 days.

3. And erasing all their footprints, fingerprints and criminal contacts.

On to the their next crime.

4. And what is the scandalous Justice Department doing?

Redacting?

This world dominion thing they've got going is a creeping vine. Ever try to get rid of one?

7. Obviously, Halliburton internal task groups sat down to figure out

a way to cover themselves from lawsuit payments, prison terms. and to protect their ill-gotten profits. Move out of the country. Stop investigations mid stream. Teflon themselves and Cheney.

PLUS, get their people out of Iran, including normally paid U.S. service people who helped them - on the cheap - on our dime.

Now, on to the bombing with no additional services and sales needed.

Please, someone, help the world by stopping the bombing of Iran.

It is so scary it makes we want to ask the Congresspeople to postpone everything they are working on to save those people, to prevent this, to prevent the unbelievable fall out to come.
