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.

John, They dont seem to realize even what oil field services companies are, or
what they do. Probaly most of the people who criticize Halliburton, probably
think they own wells, and sell oil.

There really are only two companies with that kind of techinical expertise
that
is needed, Halliburton and Schlumberger.
And if you need something done right now, rather than months from now, the
only
choice is no bid contract. Once you do open up bids, you have to allow time
to
publicize it, time to allow the bids to come in, then to study the bids, award
them, and deal with any appeals that come up.

Bidding for contracts is great if its a future need, but not an option when
you
need something done immediately

I think the point is that before the war even started, we should have
anticipated that we were going to need certain services to be performed.
Surely, somebody could have devised a method of bidding for performance of those
services without tipping off our war plans. It doesn't seem so insoluble that
no-bid contracts were the only possibility.
