No bid contracts were awarded because in many cases Halliburton is the ONLY
company that does the work.

And in a number of other cases, the Halliburton contracts were quietly
dropped for non-performance.

Of course, that's all a bunch leftist whacko propaganda... if you
consider the Quartermaster Corps a bunch of leftist whackos...

You don't read very well. Only the low-end contracts were dropped. Quite
clearly to make dopes like you think it was on the up-and-up.
Loco, you're SERIOUSLY stupid!

Alarming, but not atypical.

Yeh, that's why they told her to shut up or she would lose her job.

Right. Sure.

John, the election is less than a week away. You must learn to exercise a
healthy degree of skepticism about any "news" that comes out during this
period.


As soon as you learn to exercise a healthy degree of realism.

Well, at least he hasn't mixed up his Boobsie and Bitty-Bill
personalities lately. I mean, how much do you expect from him?

The questionis; How do you know if H-B is the only Company unless you
ask for bids? It costs the Tax payers nothing to ask for submitted Bids.
Why wasn't it done?

They didn't want to **** off Cheney who has had and probably will have
a relationship with HB.

Halliburton has been used by every president for nearly a hundred
years.


History of Halliburton


Nearing a Century of Excellence
For almost a century, Halliburton has made an indelible impression on
the world. From developing breakthrough technologies and constructing
monumental infrastructure projects to managing logistics for military
operations, Halliburton and our predecessor companies have been
leaders in the energy services and engineering and construction (E&C)
industries.

Takes too much time. Then you need congressional approval.

Too much opportunity for Cheney's buddies to get screwed out of their take.

Yeah, but Cheney used it for his semi-public feed bag.
