"Halliburton, the company formerly headed by Vice President Cheney, has won contracts worth more than $1.7 billion out of Operation Iraqi Freedom and stands to make hundreds of millions more dollars under a no-bid contract awarded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, according to newly available documents."

Imagine that!

1. Alternate MSNBC Article Title: Halliburton Scores Big Off Iraq

In case any LBN readers are concerned about the accurate title of the MSNBC article, MSNBC seems to change between kysrsoze's title of "Halliburton Cashes In" and "Halliburton Scores Big Off Iraq."

Both titles are pretty sexy though, huh?

2. scam, scam, scam.

Goddamit.

The most maddening part of this waste of taxpayer money: allocations for
"logistical support for the 1,200 intelligence officers hunting Iraqi weapons of mass destruction."

Just what is the point now? Just so * can say he was right? That's a hell of a lot of money to spend on someone's pride.
