2. link to the no-bid rebuild?

I have seen the statement that shows that Hallibutt gets contracts to repair facilities in LA and MS but if you read the fine print the are, actually bidded maintenance contracts from fall of '04.

3. Halliburton is nothing more, in essence, than a CONTRACTOR. They

are just blood sucking middle men.

8. Exactly. Actually, they're damn frickin TOO BIG for the job...

NGU.

4. Halliburton is a small company it does big business it actually

does nothing it just subcontracts out everything to other companies.

5. Those people of NO interested in rebuilding their city, whether

they have the skills up front or not, should be employed in a govt funded program to get the city up and running. It would be a good opportunit for OTJ training and provide income. This is the sort of thing they should have done in Baghdad too.

Halliburton is harming people in more than one way.

6. And they are doing such excellent work rebuilding Iraq.

Let's just close our eyes and throw money at them.

7. Then it's a monopoly and should be broken up

we shouldn't be at the mercy of one company when it comes to national defense.
