The Iraqi people managed their oil refineries quite well before
Halliburton arrived on the scene.

Total managed the Iraqi's oil before the US got there and the aquifer
shows
the French abused the fields.

Interesting. Can you elaborate on this?

The story was in the newsgroups a couple of weeks ago.

There are also other companies
that could do the same work such as Bechtel and probably some
foreign companies as well.

Bectel is already in Iraq, repairing the electric inferstructure.

You should put "repairing" in inverted commas.

Bechtel built the Iraqi electrical system in the first place.

A no-bid contract with a company who's former head just happens
to be one of the most powerful men in Washington and who is still
on the payroll doesn't bother you at all?

Better Halliburton than Schlumberger.

Why do you think Halliburton are any better than Schlumberger?

Schlumberger are French.
