HALLIBURTON BRIBES, LOOTS ... AND MAKES A "HEALTHY PROFIT"

As opposed to letting the work to Schlumberger; get a clue.

The Iraqi people managed their oil refineries quite well before
Halliburton arrived on the scene. There are also other companies
that could do the same work such as Bechtel and probably some
foreign companies as well.

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? If so, I have a bridge
in New York City to sell you.

Bectel is already in Iraq, repairing the electric inferstructure.

Bectel is not an oil field service company.

Better Halliburton than Schlumberger.

Didn't you undrerstand what $10 oil has done to oilfield service companies?

If so, I have a bridge in New York City to sell you.

You have a buttload of ignorance that only the stupid are buying.

Halliburton staff sacked 'for taking bribes'

Halliburton, the oil services company formerly run by the US
vice-president, Dick Cheney, was yesterday embroiled in new
accusations of corruption after it sacked two workers over allegations
that they took kickbacks for awarding sub-contracts in Iraq.
The company disclosed that investigations were going on into whether
two of its staff took up to $6m (£3.3m) from a Kuwaiti-based company
providing support for US troops.


The company detected the irregularity with their own internal controls,
reported it promptly to the government, fired the employees involved,
and volunteered to repay the overcharge.

Your problem with that is...?

They didn't fix the problem before it happened.

BTW, if Halliburton discovered that two of their employees had taken $6m in
kickbacks from a Kuwaiti supplier, why did they(Halliburton) make the
reimbursement to the feds instead of the fired crooks who got the money?
Where's that $6m as we speak?

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?

You should put "repairing" in inverted commas.

Better Halliburton than Schlumberger.

Why do you think Halliburton are any better than Schlumberger?

Bechtel built the Iraqi electrical system in the first place.

Schlumberger are French.

Schlumberger is not treated as a "foreign private issuer" under US

Well of course the Schlumberger brothers would say that.

French they were and French they are, with Shell as their best friends. You
remember Shell, the company that delivered oil and refined products to Hanoi
Harbor throughout the Viet Nam War?

A quick google search doesn't find anything. Can you give me some
pointers?

BTW, not all the oilfield services companies in Iraq were French. I
worked for an exploration company which was wholly owned by Raytheon,
which had some major contracts in Iraq in the 1980s.

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

And have made a slow business of getting it back up and running.

a) Schlumberger isn't French.

b) Even if they were, so what?
