Subject: RE: BS: Halliburton owns the U.S. government
A question for you Bobert relating to something that you came out with in your post of 14 Nov 06 - 08:08 PM:

"T, you are so full of it that I'd bet your eyes a brown (Actually they are blue Bobert)... I've been around contracts and if yyou are standing by your assertion that Helliburton's 1998 contract for services "A,B & C" also would cover services "D, E & F" for recontsruction of an occupied country that the US had invaded then you are on some serious mind aletering drugs that have render your mind incapable of comprehending nothin', absolutely nuthin', that has to do with the real world"

Please provide details of any contract that Halliburton has been awarded for reconstruction in Iraq. As far as I know they provide engineering, logistics and support services for the US Forces and they were tasked with remedial repairs to oilfield infrastructure damaged during the invasion and in the restoration of Iraq's oil production capability - No reconstruction of an occupied country as such Bobert.

Regarding the reconstruction of Iraq (Bobert's services D, E & F) funded through USAID these currently involve some 150 US companies and the work is worth around $48.7 billion for work in both Iraq and Afghanistan. For those outside the US, it is a condition of anyone accepting USAID that the money pledged MUST be spent inside the US and that US companies must be contracted to undertake the work - Halliburton isn't one of them Bobert.
