Halliburtons

[Barrie Yates]

"Nigeria's anti-corruption police have raided the offices of the U.S. oilfield services group Halliburton and arrested 12 people in a bribery case involving the former Halliburton unit KBR Inc, a spokesman said on Saturday".
I seem to remember that the US VP, Dick Cheney was a senior executive of Haliburtons and aren't they the company that provided sub-standard concrete to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill earlier this year?

Would not surprise me at all.

worked for them years ago when they were known as Brown and Root , a good company ...seem to remember Haliburton had a few 'defense' contracts in the mid east supplying ex military personal (mercenaries) for training the locals and such,in the use of American products... much like what British aviation companies did for many years in Saudi , and lets not forget Sultan Qabus and his 'British Tommies'

and they had MAJOR contracts in iraq after they invaded it

and i'm sure they have a hand in blackwater too the security company which has ALOT of the private security contracts

huge contracts in the middle east largely thanks to the bush connection they secured even more
