When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

Take a look at the Haliburton web pages and see what pies their fingers are in. I wanted to check out KBR Engineering and Construction but the drop-down menu wasn't working correctly to look over the Government operations submenu. However, a site search on the terms government and operations turned up pages about their running many operations and training for the US Marines; security for US Embassies, and more. See the following excerpts
It appears to me that Haliburton could itself go to war anywhere in the world. Certainly the US could not mount a military operation without Haliburton as it appears all our eggs are in their basket. Is this not a little frightening?

Take a look at the Haliburton web pages and see what pies their fingers are in. I wanted to check out KBR Engineering and Construction but the drop-down menu wasn't working correctly to look over the Government operations submenu. However, a site search on the terms government and operations turned up pages about their running many operations and training for the US Marines; security for US Embassies, and more. See the following excerpts
