CNN just aired a feel good comercial for Halliburton!

Showing all the wonderful things that they do "for our troops".
So they are trying to sanitize the fact that Halliburton was awarded a no-bid, sweetheart contract to make billions on the war that its former CEO and current VP of the USA, helped start!
OMG!!

1. when?

I've had CNN on since 3PM CST and have not seen it. Was it during Lou Dobb's? I can't believe they would have the gall to do that. It makes we want to puke.

6. I'm sure it'll work.

"What do you mean they are bad guys....I just saw an advertising saying they are good?" Right, and Shell cares about the environment.

3. Just relax - let PR soothe your nagging doubts and tired brain!

Don't worry about sweetheart deals, corruption, fraud and waste.

Look - isn't that soft-focus picture of an oil pipeline nice!

See how the kind people of Halliburton are using trucks and planes to deliver food to hungry soldiers?

Isn't that a nice shot of a small group of Halliburton employees? Can't you just FEEL the committment and caring?

Sure beats thinking, doesn't it?

5. exactly

just like all the tax cuts that ended up getting donated to Bush-Cheney 2004, just like all the tax cuts that went to the people responsible for the mutual fund ripoffs.

9. I guess Rove is running their PR department now

Maybe they should have a commercial with bush saying, "I think it's time you heard a little good news about a patriotic American company."

Now, where did I put that barf bag ...

10. And that's why they are dissing Clark...

Clark is the guy who threatens to remove
Halliburton's gravy train from the White House.

Corporate America is infected with rot and is controlling
the media to keep Bush in power.

11. I heard a mother of a soldier talk about how they have the mail contract

and the mail delivery service is a shambles.

12. NBC hammered Halliburton on the evening news (11/5)

Reported on the gasoline price gouging, buying it for $.98/gallon
in Kuwait and selling it to US taxpayers at $2.65/gallon in Iraq.

A critic was quoted that you could ship the gas around the world
in the QEII and still make money at those prices.

Nice to see that the GE boys are not always kissing Shrub ass.
They have to come up for air every now and then I guess.
