You are quite selective in your propaganda. Despite your hopes, things in iraq are moving foward, getting better. Taking Charge Daniel Fisher, 07.21.03 There is rebuilding going on in Iraq--largely by Iraqis. Good news for their oil industry, maybe not so good for U.S. companies. Bruce Habel's cell phone rings constantly as he rattles over the garbage-strewn roads of southern Iraq, a machine-gun-toting soldier in the passenger's seat next to him. Mindful of company safety rules, the technical services manager for Halliburton's Kellogg Brown & Root engineering unit lets a fellow employee in the backseat take his calls. The Beirut representative for a U.S. pump manufacturer? "Tell him to send me some brochures," he says, wrenching the wheel to avoid an impromptu roadblock. An equipment salesman hoping to get some face time with Habel? "Take a message." With a team of 50 engineers working seven days a week, Habel oversees a significant part of what could be a multibillion-dollar effort to rebuild Iraq's oil infrastructure. forbes.com
