Haliburton Profit $9 BILLION - So Far!

And this might answer fishin's question. The lower figure quoted is just for the KBR part of the deal - this is then rolled into the larger Halliburton figure for non-US Army services.

Squinney, I've spent the last 30 years of my life being outraged at the stuff our government spends money on. They have wasted enough money just in my life time to probably run the government tax free for a year. But your post seems to be treating this as though it has never ever happened before. And to top it off, you somehow point a finger and say it is happening because of the current admin. You're wrong and I won't sit here and debate the point.

And why bring Clinton and his blowjob (on our time-not his and in his work place-not his home or a hotel) into this? Of course, you see nothing wrong with his blow-job. Neither do I if done on his time and in his home. Are you saying it was perfectly ok? If so, and you work somewhere, why not go into your workplace tomorrow and have hubby come in on company time and give him a blow-job. Bet your employer would not be too happy. So personally, I think the money spent investigating his perjury, which led to the blowjob revelations, money well spent. Unless you would rather not spend money to investigate crimes.

Good thing I didn't bring up Clinton or you would be complaining about repubs constantly having to bring his name up. Guess it is ok when you do it though.

Ah well, have a good day.

Halliburton has 'earned' $9 billion in Iraq thus far.

Their gross profits from December 2001 all the way through December 2004 only total slightly over $2.1 billion.

That's a fairly significant difference from the $9 billion claimed.

The figure I am referring to is that $2.1B, that is the profit for Kellog-Root-Brown (or is it Kellog-Brown-Root?) the subsidary of Halliburton, NOT the total proft for Halliburton.
