Shares in problem-plagued Halliburton Co. rose to their highest level in more than three years on Wednesday, carried by a rally in oil-related stocks after President Bush's re-election.

imagine that

oh shit..........forget to mention............Dick Cheney has over $40 Million in stock options with them

just thought I'd add that little fact

So...... What was your opnion when Clinton gave Haliburton no-bid contracts after he invaded Bosnia.....

Were you upset abou that?

If not....Why not?

probably because Al Gore didnt use to run the company.

very good point...

Doesn't surprise me :(

Does / did Clinton own stock?

Actually, that's not the point....


The real REASON that Halliburton gets these contracts (from BOTH sides of the politcal spectrum), is that they are the ONLY US owned company that has the size, experience, and resources needed to rebuild the energy infrastructure of an ENTIRE COUNTRY. You just can't get that job done with 15 smaller contractors all trying to co-ordinate.

Clinton was too good of a pres...


...remember,.... he had to do the lewinski thing because he was too good....

and the whole kill bill movies..

... o n0s

omg princess die.

o she wu so cute leik + etc ++

Halliburton Under Investigation:

Thibault would not be specific about the basis on which the auditors have found evidence that the Halliburton subsidiary has overcharged for the fuel it is providing in Iraq under the oil contract.

But government documents show that the U.S. government is paying Halliburton Co. an average of $2.64 a gallon to import gasoline to Iraq from Kuwait, more than twice what others are paying to truck in Kuwaiti fuel.

Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Los Angeles, the leading congressional critic of the contract, said the report of the audit "confirms what we've known for months: Halliburton has been gouging taxpayers, and the White House has been letting them get away with it."

"It is deplorable, and we need to put an immediate end to it," Waxman said in a written statement. "There needs to be a top-to-bottom review of all the Iraqi contracts."

Who do you think helped bankroll this re-election...
