Halliburton pilfers millions from Pentagon and now...
Saddam climbs up out of his magic rabbit hole.

The good Lord must be looking down on Emperor Punchy and smiling.

Any bets on whether we'll hear even a word about Halliburton again???

1. I was just thinking the same thing
Funny how Chimpy came out just last week to say that they should pay back the overcharges, now we have the big news to distract us. Chimpy's on record about Haliburton, but will anything get done about it? Will people care?

2. Bush is one lucky ducky
When Neil's Chinese connection was being reported on * took off for Thanksgiving in Iraq.

There have been several other past events which have coincided with bad news for bushy.

3. Read this to find out what's going to happen concerning Halliburton
This fellow's analysis sounds about right to me:

8. Yeah -- great formula
works everytime with the Murikan public.

It's an honest-to-cripes confidence game isn't it?

If you don't laugh, you'll cry.

7. And Notice How Saddam Was "Found" Just as the Sunday Talk Shows Aired?
Perfect military timing for releasing the story just as the Sunday political talk shows were preparing to go to airtime.

Gee whiz.

9. Haliburton
Some newspaper reports here made Bush look like a hero for demanding they pay back the money they over-charged us.

10. Halliburton gets more work in Iraq
Halliburton gets more work in Iraq

http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=businessNews&storyID=3996701

The U.S. military said on Monday Vice President Dick Cheney's former company Halliburton was allocated $222 million more last week for work in Iraq, at the same time as a Pentagon audit found the firm may have overbilled for some services there.

11. What about the $61 mil they had overspent?
Isn't that to be accounted for?

And unless they're feeding troops ambrosia and posh tidbits, there's no way they're being fed at $28 per day.

Fleecing and stealing and * is supporting all of it.

EVIL.
