Here we go again - Bush Cronyism

Little off topic, don't you think?

 

Now, CMG, that just absolutely has to be overlooked or the fun stops.

 

Can you prove that? I am willing to listen but I want proof.

 

Little off topic, don't you think? </font>[/QUOTE]Not really, since Halliburton has been doing business with Iran for years.

 

Maybe so. It just seems this thread went from a Bush cronyism discussion the a bash Halliburton party.

 

Okay, I'll see what else about Bush cronyism I can dig up, LOL.

 

Shouldn't be a problem, since it's so rampant.

It's exceptional , too. No other president I can remember could be accused of "cronyism".

You've pretty much summed up the total of all views of just about every president during his tenure.

It's part of our sinful nature to critique and criticize politicians, especially while they're doing the job elected to do. It's a form of armchair quarterbacking. I know a lot of people do it, including myself, but it's still, imo, sinful behavior. That is why I've made a commitment to always take a step back regarding politics. I never, or at least, rarely give my total $.02 about politicians as a whole. I do critique specifics, but in the end, time and history alone decide the quality of presidents. And, thankfully, while the present always identifies failures over accomplishments, time tends to identify accomplishments over failures.

Even at your tender age the altitude is getting to you!

Kinda gums up that subject, don't it?

 

wait a minute.....Im not sure if anyone has said this yet, I tried to look through the four pages but might have missed it....but do you know what Haliburton does?

What is this company's business?

They go into devastated areas and rebuild, on a massive scale.

Almost no other company in the world specializes in this. No one else does what Haliburton does.

So of COURSE they are going to get the bid for the rebuilding of Iraq, and of COURSE they are going to be a part of rebuilding along the Gulf Coast!

 

It is frequently referred to as the only company able to do the job.

Once in a while someone asserts that that is not so, but I've never seen any of them name another company.

I think you need a more precise breakdown, LE. I just don't see competitors listed such as IBM, Sun Microsystems, and Hewlett-Packard rebuilding Iraq or New Orleans.

 

Well, that's what was posted at the site.

Anyway, here's the Scoop on Bechtel:

But anyway, Bechtel also has ties to the Bush administration AND the bin Laden family. Google it. You'll find out.
