One or two warnings in a thread is all I give. And I did get mouthy at

HALLIBURTON .. THE REAL STORY

I am so completely sick and tired of hearing these Bush-hating,
left-wing, Saddam-appeasing neo-socialists rant and rave about
Halliburton that I could ..... well ... I could just spit. What
morons. These are people who hate capitalism, hate the profit motive,
and believe that every evil visited on the world is done so in the
name of corporate greed. Losers all.

To listen to these irrational cretins you would think that this entire
war in Iraq was being fought for one purpose, to enrich Halliburton.
It would be not at all surprising if some of these anti-capitalist
geeks believed that Bush arranged for those airplanes to fly into the
World Trade Towers for that one purpose .. enriching Halliburton.

Try this experiment. The next time you hear some liberal parrot
squawk about Halliburton just ask them one simple question. "Well,
pal --- since you're such an expert on Halliburton, why don't you tell
me just what it is that Halliburton does? Name one product or one
service that Halliburton provides."

Don't hold your breath waiting for cogent answer.

Part of the perceived evil that is Halliburton is the fact that ----
Cheney once ran the company. As everyone knows, we should strive
mightily to avoid ever placing anyone with the know-how and ability to
run a multi-million dollar corporation in a position of responsibility
in the political realm. Actually making a success of yourself in the
private sector disqualifies you for public service, while not having
any actual discernable private sector job skills is the supreme
qualification for public service.

So ... let's get to the bottom of this. Did Bush or Cheney do
something underhanded or illegal in handing some rather lucrative
contracts to Halliburton for infrastructure and other work in Iraq?

We'll start with another question you can ask your bedwetting leftist
friends. Ask them if they've ever heard of LOGCAP. They will tell
you that they don't know what that is. You won't be at all surprised.
LOGCAP is the Logistics Civil Augmentation Program created by the
United States Army. It is a program that uses a competitive bidding
process to award a contract to a corporation to be on call to provide
whatever services the Army might need ... right then. Some brilliant
thinkers in the Army came to the conclusion that it might not be such
a swell idea to screw around with competitive bidding processes for
logistics and other services during wartime. Imagine that.

Halliburton won the competitive bidding process for LOGCAP in 1992.
They then lost that bidding process five years later in 1997. In
spite of the fact that Halliburton no longer held the LOGCAP contract,
Bill Clinton went ahead and awarded a no-bid contract to Halliburton
to do some work in the Balkans supporting U.S. peacekeeping actions.
Odd, isn't it. The same people who are screaming about Halliburton
right now had absolutely nothing .. nada .. nunca .. not one thing to
say about Halliburton when it was the Clinton Administration that was
handing out contracts .. with no bidding, by the way. You might also
be interested in knowing that Al Gore was quite a fan of Halliburton.
Gore's reinventing government panel had some very complimentary things
to say about Halliburton and the services it provides to the U.S.
government. Ahhh ... but what does Al Gore know, right?

That brings us to 2001. It's time for bidding on the LOGCAP contract
again. Halliburton is right in there, and wins the bid. This means
that at the time of the Iraq War Halliburton had the bid for providing
logistical and other services to the U.S. government. They were the
go-to company. So, along comes the U.S. Army with a fat contract for
Halliburton to put out oil-well fires in Iraq and all hell breaks
loose. To the left this is all the proof you needed to show that this
whole war was about oil and enriching Bush pals.

Recap: Clinton awards no-bid contract to Halliburton at a time when
Halliburton did not hold the LOGCAP contract. Bush awards contract to
Halliburton at a time when Halliburton DID hold the LOGCAP contract.

So ... one last question for your mindless leftist friends. Well ..
make that two questions. Ask them if Clinton went into the Balkans to
enrich Halliburton. They'll say no. Then ask them if Bush went to
Iraq to enrich Halliburton. They'll say yes. At this point do all
that you can to have your friend institutionalized .. for they are
beyond all help.
