"Controversial US oil and services group Halliburton has said that its contracts in Iraq had helped boost its turnover by about 80% in the first three months of the year."

Anyone in Boston, who needs being liberated....

"I am disappointed that the allegations, by politicians and in the media, have increased security risks for our employees," he (Dave Lesar) said.

I desperately seek a 80% boost, but if there are communist liberal terrorist newspapers and media in Boston, who increase the security risks for my slaves, I can't liberate you.

80% or Safe European Home,
Dirk

3. Nice contracts Halliburton got...

...Cheney is laughing all the way to the bank and muttering through his tight thin blue lips about all of the American people, "Suckers!"

4. Yeah, all taxpayer money...

Instead of sending our checks to the IRS why don't we just start sending them to Halliburton.

5. Thank God for that

At least all the suffering has not been in vain.
