There has got to be a vast righter than right-wing conspiracy lurking here somewhere! :) First they get white house pressure to buy overpriced oil from Kuwait, then they lose there contracts because of it.

Halliburton was not only profiting off the blood of our soldiers, but they had to rub it in our face by gouging taxpayers. But not to fear. Halliburton only lost this one contract. It's subsidaries still provide housing for troops, food services, mail delivery and the building of prisons in Gitmo and of course, the repair and construction of an unspecified (and unsupervised) number of oil wells. Who's in the money? No, Cheney has the cards stacked and the American people will pay��with their blood as well a cash!!! Doesn’t this bother anyone?

I picture Cheney in a black ninja suit breaking into the Oval Office and forging Clinton's signature on those contracts . . . just before he planted a blue dress in the back of a closet.

It is Clinton's fault that the top executives of Halliburton are retired Generals, Admirals, CIA, etc., designed deliberately to manipulate the government. The Vice President used to be the CEO and the only CEO to break Halliburton's own rule of enormous severance for Cheney. It's crooked and you know it. Of course.
