Murgen, what exactly, is it that Halliburton does? How many other companies are there who do what Halliburton does? What is the similarity between that work and the actions of people stealing from the Oil for Food project?

i suppose the price gouging and overcharging reported on fuel supplied into iraq would be similar to the oil for food fiasco. maybe not the same scale because it didn't go on for as long. being awarded untendered contracts for iraq reconstruction and war effort also seemed to raise a few hackles. i guess the point is mrj we all live in glass houses and this francophobia (and i have no french blood) is kind of ironic. some people should get over and visit france and they might realize there were well developed civilizations before betsy ross ever thought of the stars and stripes. france and other nations have contributed a lot to this world and helped to make north america what it is. the world would continue to exist if the united states (or any other country) disappeared tomorrow.
