HALLIBURTON BRIBES, LOOTS ... AND MAKES A "HEALTHY PROFIT"

Tarver Engineering writes
The Iraqi people managed their oil refineries quite well before
Halliburton arrived on the scene.

Total managed the Iraqi's oil before the US got there and the aquifer shows
the French abused the fields.

Interesting. Can you elaborate on this?

There are also other companies
that could do the same work such as Bechtel and probably some
foreign companies as well.

Bectel is already in Iraq, repairing the electric inferstructure.

You should put "repairing" in inverted commas.

A no-bid contract with a company who's former head just happens
to be one of the most powerful men in Washington and who is still
on the payroll doesn't bother you at all?

Better Halliburton than Schlumberger.

Why do you think Halliburton are any better than Schlumberger?

The story was in the newsgroups a couple of weeks ago.

Bechtel built the Iraqi electrical system in the first place.

Schlumberger is not treated as a "foreign private issuer" under US

Well of course the Schlumberger brothers would say that.

French they were and French they are, with Shell as their best friends. You
remember Shell, the company that delivered oil and refined products to Hanoi
Harbor throughout the Viet Nam War?

A quick google search doesn't find anything. Can you give me some
pointers?

BTW, not all the oilfield services companies in Iraq were French. I
worked for an exploration company which was wholly owned by Raytheon,
which had some major contracts in Iraq in the 1980s.

And have made a slow business of getting it back up and running.

a) Schlumberger isn't French.

b) Even if they were, so what?

I don't see the articles on google, but it was a "blame Bush" set of threads
on alt.politics.usa.republican.

20 years is a long time ago.

Total has been the main supplier since Desert Storm.
