American public WILL need their blinders on for this one. Q: Who will be carving up the Haliburton pie at TP's expense? John Q is going to need six rectum's() the way they are getting shafted. ()Actually they have more then that, but they are all in public office. ------------------------------------ Iraq needs to import oil. WTF? biz.yahoo.com Earlier this year Halliburton was granted, without competition, a contract by the Army Corps of Engineers to repair and restore Iraq's oil fields. As of Sept 8, the total cost of that contract to taxpayers was just under $948 million, spokesman Scott Saunders said on Friday. That's about $200 million higher than projected just last month, mostly because the U.S. has been forced to import oil and fuels into Iraq, which has the world's second-largest oil reserves after Saudi Arabia. Importing oil, gasoline, diesel and propane is costing the United States about $6 million per day. "We didn't expect to have this much trouble getting production back up, or to have pipelines blown up and power stations sabotaged," Corps spokesman Scott Saunders said.
