Nothing new here, US taxpayers are nailed for shipping coal mined in the Ohio-Pennsylvania-W Virginia area to Germany et al to provide fuel for US troops even though it's cheaper to buy fuel from the Europeans. This has been going on for decades...Comment

Bezerker, the point is not about shipping in the oil, but that Halliburton is charging more than twice than anyone else doing the same things as others.If you don't like reality, change it! me

The contract appears to be for only 30 days. So the question is, why not buy gas from the Iraqi state oil company unless we get a price break from Halliburton? If not, then let's buy Iraqi state oil and get Halliburton out of the importing businees. In fact, let the Iraqi's hire Halliburton if they want.http://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/jorbis/JOrbisPlayer.php?path=John+Williams+The+Imperial+M arch+from+The+Empire+Strikes+Back.ogg&wiki=enComment

Gepap, that's still no different than shipping US coal to Europe for US troops when we can buy coal from Germany for far less.
It's corporate welfare... And that ain't capitalism, Japher.

It's Shrub's idea of what capitalism is.And it ain't capitalism Ramo."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. "

Berz. I think you have the wrong idea what capitalism is. If anything blame Democracy, and not capitalism.
I don't condone what the Bush administration did here, by the way...Comment

Japher, I'm not the one blaming capitalism, that was you and Ramo who called this capitalism.
Then Stalin's version of communism qualifies as communism.It's Shrub's idea of what capitalism is.

Sure. Stalinism is a common variant of communism. Just like corporatism is a common variant of capitalism.Then Stalin's version of communism qualifies as communism.
Edit:
Before this gets out of hand and we're making page long posts, I meant to mock Shrub's committment to free enterprise - for the rich (which bears no resemblance to what Haliburton is doing). It was not a dig at capitalism.Last edited by Ramo; December 11, 2003, 00:01."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.
