Halliburton overcharging story suddenly off Sunday news headlines
It sure looked like the story about Halliburton overcharging around $61 million in various contracts was going to be in the headlines this weekend.

Suddenly, Saddam is pulled out of the hat. I thought they were going to use this around the last week of July next year.

How convenient.

1. Good idea for a political cartoon:
A picture of Saddam Hussein with the caption:

Turkey delivered by Air Force One: $250,000
Gasoline delivered by Haliburton: $61 million
The Memories: Priceless

2. That was my thought when I heard
what else are they trying to distract from? And the fact that he was caught with Kurdish soldiers? Wait - aren't these the same people he massacred? I guess up IS down. Oh boy, and weren't there Al Qaeda with the Kurds?
