I Heart Halliburton :o)
I'm about to graduate with a BSEE, anyone know if Halliburton is a good company to work for? Do they have cool shirts I can buy?
If FR ever stoops as low in conduct as the DU, I will forever cease to frequent its forums. And I'm hopelessly addicted to FR, so don't make me do it.
"Halliburton Co. (hired) to restore electric power, repair roofs and remove debris"
Don'tcha just love it!
I just got this from a lefty co-worker via e-mail today. This will make your blood boil, if it isn't already.
Michael Moore is already spewing his filth at George Bush. You knew he wouldn't pass up this opportunity.
Vacation is Over... an open letter from Michael Moore to George W. Bush
Friday, September 2nd, 2005
Dear Mr. Bush:
Any idea where all our helicopters are? It's Day 5 of Hurricane Katrina and thousands remain stranded in New Orleans and need to be airlifted. Where on earth could you have misplaced all our military choppers? Do you need help finding them? I once lost my car in a Sears parking lot. Man, was that a drag.
Also, any idea where all our national guard soldiers are? We could really use them right now for the type of thing they signed up to do like helping with national disasters. How come they weren't there to begin with?
Last Thursday I was in south Florida and sat outside while the eye of Hurricane Katrina passed over my head. It was only a Category 1 then but it was pretty nasty. Eleven people died and, as of today, there were still homes without power. That night the weatherman said this storm was on its way to New Orleans. That was Thursday! Did anybody tell you? I know you didn't want to interrupt your vacation and I know how you don't like to get bad news. Plus, you had fundraisers to go to and mothers of dead soldiers to ignore and smear. You sure showed her!
I especially like how, the day after the hurricane, instead of flying to Louisiana, you flew to San Diego to party with your business peeps. Don't let people criticize you for this -- after all, the hurricane was over and what the heck could you do, put your finger in the dike?
And don't listen to those who, in the coming days, will reveal how you specifically reduced the Army Corps of Engineers' budget for New Orleans this summer for the third year in a row. You just tell them that even if you hadn't cut the money to fix those levees, there weren't going to be any Army engineers to fix them anyway because you had a much more important construction job for them -- BUILDING DEMOCRACY IN IRAQ!
On Day 3, when you finally left your vacation home, I have to say I was moved by how you had your Air Force One pilot descend from the clouds as you flew over New Orleans so you could catch a quick look of the disaster. Hey, I know you couldn't stop and grab a bullhorn and stand on some rubble and act like a commander in chief. Been there done that.
There will be those who will try to politicize this tragedy and try to use it against you. Just have your people keep pointing that out. Respond to nothing. Even those pesky scientists who predicted this would happen because the water in the Gulf of Mexico is getting hotter and hotter making a storm like this inevitable. Ignore them and all their global warming Chicken Littles. There is nothing unusual about a hurricane that was so wide it would be like having one F-4 tornado that stretched from New York to Cleveland.
No, Mr. Bush, you just stay the course. It's not your fault that 30 percent of New Orleans lives in poverty or that tens of thousands had no transportation to get out of town. C'mon, they're black! I mean, it's not like this happened to Kennebunkport. Can you imagine leaving white people on their roofs for five days? Don't make me laugh! Race has nothing -- NOTHING -- to do with this!
You hang in there, Mr. Bush. Just try to find a few of our Army helicopters and send them there. Pretend the people of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast are near Tikrit.
Yours,
Michael Moore

P.S. That annoying mother, Cindy Sheehan, is no longer at your ranch. She and dozens of other relatives of the Iraqi War dead are now driving across the country, stopping in many cities along the way. Maybe you can catch up with them before they get to DC on September 21st.
When will they be named Boris and Natasha?
The Q Continuum have that ability.Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of half a dozen old low-bypass turbine 'jet' engines (like J-57's) mounted in a circle half a mile diameter and pointing upward, and canted at a slight counter clockwise angle; this would be the 'forcing mechanism' for breaking through a 'cap' (literally: a capping inversion as shown on a Skew-T diagram) ...
LMFAO
Halliburton is like Boeing. They deliver.
You can put out a contract; let people bid on it, knowing that they will go default and then charge you more mid stride since they gave you a bogus contract amount (Just to win the contract and then they go back and try to claim extra money for “unforeseen” costs). You can even give it to some minority run firm and have lots of pictures taken of you shaking hands with some black female with an Spanish surname (Yes, the Federal Gov. gives minority run firms certain preferences as well). Or, if you want it done right since it’s important, you give it to Halliburton right off the bat.
No one on earth could have pulled off what Halliburton did in Iraq! NO ONE! The degree of planning required, logistics, recruiting of people, training, purchasing the right equipment etc required to build those Fire Bases, power production, water plants, laundry services, dining facilities etc, in the middle of a desert war zone so quick and is nothing short of a miracle!
Only in the US can we take a marvel; a complete success story in planning and execution and twist it into something bad. Oh you evil Halliburton, as a soldier who ate in your dining facilities at Victory, BIAP and Kuwait, thank you.
I remember eating ice-cream, and to order bacon mushroom cheeseburgers at the dining facility at BIAP by AUG or SEP of 2003! The convoys of trucks, air-conditioned quarters that were built at Victory with complete power supply within one year are awe-inspiring.

I only regret that we can't post some of those on a family forum!
I never thought that the United State's biggest natural disaster would be dragged this close to the gutter? Yep, that's right Halliburton did it, in the parlor with the butcher knife. Cheney was involved! GW is the biggest bastard who ever walked the earth. And Ted Kennedy is a wonderful guy? I think that I am getting it now! Or maybe not?
HA HA HA, I'm LMAO
That is great thanks
This is too good. I read it three times to make sure that the letter wasn't a joke! If I were going to come up with a generic, Bush-bashing rant, it would read exactly like that.
PING!
