The Bobcat Nation

...because Halliburton is tired of looking, because Halliburton has made enough money, because Halliburton ran out of people to man its plastic fork factory? Oh no, it's because Halliburton realized it could make even more money working for Tsunami Aid! Key in soundtrack from "The Magnificent Seven."

Do you mean KBR? The Halliburton I know is in various parts of this country providing a service to oil companies (and no, not all oil comes from the Middle East). And in some way or another, everyone who visits this boards uses those products. As high as gas prices are, try imagining what they would be without companies like Halliburton improving the production on an oil well 5 fold. This isn't intended to offend anyone, I just get really tired of people complaining about Halliburton. How many jobs are provided by Halliburton? And how many of those have absolutely nothing to do with Iraq? Mine for one.

Halliburton is the only American company that can do the job over there. Are you gonna give the contract to BP? Everybody makes a fuss out of Halliburton but didn't the Clinton administration give Halliburton a contract to be in Serbia?
