> Auditors: Halliburton Overcharged Taxpayers $1 Billion

28 June 2005, 06:22

It is nice to know that our government is at least holding Halliburton accountable....

"The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has awarded Halliburton Co. a new contract valued at up to $1.25 billion to support American troops in the Balkans and other areas."
Halliburton wins new Army contract

I mean really, how much more absurd does this need to get? Everyone knows Cheney is running the country, his company is stealing from the American people, and the government gives them more contracts. Is it any wonder that Cheney wants to make sure we stay in Iraq as long as possible? The fact that everyday Halliburton is raking in millions of dollars in Iraq might have something to do with him telling us that Iraq is in it’s "last throes" against all evidence and contrary to common sense. Are we really going to let him keep lying, keep letting the troops be killed to pad Cheney’s bank account?
