Wanna know how to make money on bodybags? Ask Halliburton. |
Surprise, surprise - Halliburton is going to be sucking at the teat of
Iraq a little while longer.
It was announced last week that the Bush Administration is extending
Halliburton's no-bid contract to rehabilitate Iraq's oil fields
because saboteurs keep blowing up the pipelines.
The Army Corps of Engineers hoped to announce the winners of new
contracts this month (and yes, Halliburton is in the running) but
decided to extend Halliburton's current no-bid contract into next
year.
Amazing really - the worse things get in Iraq, they better they get
for Halliburton.
The company just released figures showing its third-quarter revenues
up to $4.14 billion from $2.98 billion last year.
So I guess making money from the misery of millions is a decent
business to be in these days - especially if your ex-CEO is the guy
who gets to create the misery in the first place.

Does anyone really think that Cheney won't be going back to Halliburton
once he's done playing veep?
