1. grrrreat

now haliburton has something else to rebuild (and profit from) at the US taxpayers' expense

3. Is it safe to rebuild ?

yet ?

5. probably not

but they can put something up, get paid for it, have it blown apart again, and build it again for another profit. they're likely using local workers for the construction, so it won't matter to them if a few more "brown" people are killed to enrich their corporate earnings

6. I guess they are like the Todt Organization under Nazi Germany

in any occupied trouble spot from occupied Europe to the Eastern Front, they were all over it... except for the death camps. Talk about futility.
