Halliburton, and Dick Cheney, are killing our troops

Z...thanks.....I just saw something....a guy (need to look it up) interviewed back in 2003.....a talking head that claimed the American taxpayers would only foot the bill for about USD$ 1.3 Billion.

So, here we sit....in 2008.....I want my USD$ 1 TRILLION back!!!!!!

What a joke!

Money probably won't mean much anyway, way it's going.

Hope GOLD will still have value, for trade.

Forget GOLD stock something of value...

Liquor... Coffee... Water proof matches... all cheap now... but if all Hell breaks loose things like that will have a LOT more value to change for food.

I bet I could make a list of stuff that you could store cheaply that would be must have items... imagine no toilet paper

I even convinced a Mormon on one thread that though he doesn't drink, he could see the trade value..

Besides where are you going to cash in the gold? Gonna file off a little to buy bread?

Wrong, wrong and real wrong.

First of all it is KBR that holds the contract with the military now, not Halliburton because Halliburton doesn't own KBR anymore. But even if it did, you're still severely wrong in your facts.

Funny that's not what it says on their current website

Halliburton and all of its subsidiaries, including KBR and DII Industries, will remain strong and healthy, with good growth prospects.

Perhaps someone forgot to tell THEM that

Z.....Liquor, I understand....but coffee? Where am I going to plug in my Cuisinart??

Water-proof matches, of course....but you forgot to mention cigarettes (horrid things that they are) but they were used in the past, for barter. Of course, so were nylon/silk hoses....my legs are too hairy anyway...

Toilet paper? Well, if you're trying to lighten your load (no pun) and are on the move....do you really want an 'eight-roll' package in your hands?

More seriously....this is a bit off the topic, but fun to discuss.

If some natural disaster, or man-made disaster is sure to happen....then sometimes preparations aren't worth squat...it tends to be random, depending on where you live, etc, etc....

BUT, this is about the tragedy of "NO-BID" contracts, and the needless deaths as a result. SO, essentially, brave soldiers died because of corporate greed. It should not be forgotten.....

It will be... this was already reported for years... yet it continues. Just look at the threads on it here... old news moved to the bottom...

No one really cares... so have a few more shots and watch the 'War" with Russia play out...

More 'contracts' on the way.... I think I will move to Dubai... have you seen that place lately with the world islands? Maybe I can buy an island next to the Bush family...

Seems only one Island built up so far Go google Earth this

I hear Dubai does not extradite for political crimes

Yeah....Dubai.

Z, you forgot to mention the N/S or E/W coordinates.....so that others can figure out where 'Dubai' actually is.....but, I knew what you meant

Actually, the State Airline is highly rated.....but pay for at least Business Class.....just for your comfort level.

Personally.....I'd escape to somewhere else, somewhere in the Pacific....not sure I'd enjoy an experience in a Muslim country.....even if they build nice 'Island' habitats.
