Well you can keep repeating it and it still doesn't make much sense imo. If you are saying that the guvment does a crappy job of spending our money I agree with you. I'd like to see them take a lot less of it and guit spending so much of it.
I would expect that the no-bid was because there aren't that many halliburtons out there willing to have their employees shot and possibly beheaded. You pissed about Iraq..that's a different debate.
Again..they were offered a contract and provided a service.. the essence of capitalism. Nothing socialist about it.
