The problem with the GOP "Halliburton Defense"
They claim that Halliburton was the only company who could have POSSIBLY fullfilled the terms of the contracts"

Well, Hell....If the contract stipulates that it must be a company formerly run by the VP (to insure loyalty, ya know)..then..who else can you get? I mean, be reasonable! sheesh

1. If their story were true,
then Helluvaburden Corp. would have been the only bidder in an open-bid contract -- no need to close it.

3. Why not have sub-contractors to get the job done...
..or break it up for more companies to bid, whatever their specialties are.

4. One of the main REASONS we started this war
was because Haliburton was going to get the contracts.
