well there's a big surprise.

oh wait, that's nausea. i always get them confused.

[Geology_Guy]

Why would a front company for the Bushies work for the Iranians? I thought Bush wanted to invade Iran.

[Permanently_Baffled]

This gets more confusing by the minute !

Well,"if" it is true i guess we can forget the US vs Iran scenario !

information we get from the media = bullshit pure and simple.

[stu]

It does say in the report that it is illegal for US companies to work in Iran and that is why a Texan judge has issued a subpoena.

[frankthetank]

The simple explanation would be that Cheney said the Iran..."Let them in or else"

Iran, peering over the border with Iraq, responds "OK"

???

I haven't the foggiest idea...

Since all we want is their oil, then this is great news. This is a lot easier then killing thousands of them first.

Halliburton Pulls Out of Iran

A Sign of a Coming War? Or merely a coincidence in timing? According to Halliburton, its contracts in Iran are expiring soon so they're pulling out "due to a poor business environment." Before or after an invasion ? Still...does Halliburton know something we don't?

[Itch]

It wouldn't be surprising if it is a sign of war. I think it has been established that the US is going for Iran's crotch in some way that involves force.

I think the thing to look out for is military deployments. Of course, we are occupying countries to the east and west of Iran, so this all looks pretty obvious to me. There are plenty of other details, but I think the main questions are how and when the US will attack.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', ' ')Just last week a National Security Council report said Iran was a decade away from acquiring a nuclear bomb. That time frame could arguably have been significantly longer if Halliburton, which just reported a 284 percent increase in its fourth quarter profits due to its Iraq reconstruction contracts, was not actively providing the Iranian government with the financial means to build a nuclear weapon.

Halliburton hired for storm cleanup
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he Navy has hired Houston-based Halliburton Co. to restore electric power, repair roofs and remove debris at three naval facilities in Mississippi damaged by Hurricane Katrina.

Halliburton subsidiary KBR will also perform damage assessments at other naval installations in New Orleans as soon as it is safe to do so.

KBR was assigned the work under a "construction capabilities" contract awarded in 2004 after a competitive bidding process. The company is not involved in the Army Corps of Engineers' effort to repair New Orleans' levees.

HAARP is not a conspiracy theory.

[oli]

Can they subcontract the work out to all the black people in NO?

[Barbara]

LOL EC, I know HAARP is not a conspiracy theory, but when I've read this I couldn't stop thinking "what a perfect storm for those corporations"...
