Well thats like saying KFC is Pepsi. Just because one company owns another, doesn't mean they control all aspects of how it is run. back then, Halliburton was split up into two main groups. ESG or energy services, and KBR. ESG was the primary business of Halliburton. KBR has always caused problems for Halliburton. Back when then acquired Dresser (which included Kellog), they also acquired the asbestos lawsuit which caused Halliburton stock to dip quite significantly. Anyways, my point is that when KBR was part of Halliburton, it acted as a seperate company like the way most subsidiaries.
Or maybe the negative attention and the huge influx of cash inspired Halliburton to shuffle their operation up a bit. Aren't the same people who made money from KBR/Halliburton together still making money from both KBR and Halliburton "separately"?
I used to work directly with rather large federal projects. Private companies are never more efficient than the government (caveat: on government funded projects). There is absolutely no incentive for companies to be efficient with government dollars. None.
Of course Halliburton is making massive amounts of money on the war. That was the idea. The wealthy elite are consolidating the money and wealth of the country. There is a silent war being carried out on the middle class. You yuppies are going to love whats going to happen in the next few years. Welcome to Amerika. Welcome to your FEMA "evacuation" camps. Welcome to your marial law. Welcome to your new false flag 911. Welcome to World War 3. Welcome to your economic crash. Welcome to your mercury vaccines and your fluoride water. This country has been hijacked. 911 was an inside job carried out as a pretext to set up a police state surveilance grid across America and to invade Iraq Iran and Afganistan. The CIA is controlling the opium fields in Afganistan, and their business if flourishing. Your government does not love you, its not your government. It wants all of you as prisoners. Even you rich yuppies who think your part of the elite.
where does it do that? here? "It's no surprise that KBR Inc. (KBR, news, msgs), a division of Halliburton (HAL, news, msgs) during the years we examined, tops the first list, compiled by Eagle Eye, with $17.2 billion in Iraq-related war revenue for 2003-2006." the article states that the years examined were 2003 - 2006 - kbr didnt fully break off from halliburton until this year, right? this quote from page 2 is telling... "Of all the companies on my second list, KBR saw some of the biggest revenue gains from the Iraq war. It was No. 37 on the Defense Department's top-100 list of military contractors in 2002. By 2006, KBR had climbed to No. 6." really? because thats not what the ceo of halliburton and their spokesperson said when the move was announced. how can their main office still be in houston if the chairman, president and ceo will office and "run the company" from dubai? http://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory?id=2941931 Oil services giant Halliburton Co. will soon shift its corporate headquarters from Houston to the Mideast financial powerhouse of Dubai, chief executive Dave Lesar announced Sunday. "Halliburton is opening its corporate headquarters in Dubai while maintaining a corporate office in Houston," spokeswoman Cathy Mann said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. "The chairman, president and CEO will office from and be based in Dubai to run the company from the UAE." Lesar, speaking at an energy conference in nearby Bahrain, said he will relocate to Dubai from Texas to oversee Halliburton's intensified focus on business in the Mideast and energy-hungry Asia, home to some of the world's most important oil and gas markets. "As the CEO, I'm responsible for the global business of Halliburton in both hemispheres and I will continue to spend quite a bit of time in an airplane as I remain attentive to our customers, shareholders and employees around the world," Lesar said. "Yes, I will spend the majority of my time in Dubai."
this exists sadly because the us government+soldiers arnt capable of dealing with a lot of situations. thats why companies like blackwater are making hundreds of millions, and frankly its not such a bad thing because these people know what they are up against and getting a nice pay check for it.
Ding Ding Ding. If America had a draft in place, do you think the public would have supported this war? (makes you go hmmmm. )
