Halliburton watch, a web site dedicated to – what else – keeping an eye on one of our most horrendous corporations has three fascinating charts entitled Three Years in Iraq.
The first shows the steady climb of Halliburton stock prices,
the second shows the steady climb of US casualties, and the
third shows the steady climb of Halliburton Iraq revenues.
Halliburton is a company that you can love to hate, but it won’t make any difference to the company. Thanks to Bush’s war, it is making billions of dollars no matter what it does.
It can serve US troops contaminated food and contaminated water, for example, and no one really seems to care. Congress was told that Halliburton's dining halls in Iraq had repeatedly served spoiled food to unsuspecting troops. Others have reported that the company knowingly exposes troops and civilians to contaminated water from Iraq's Euphrates River.
It doesn’t matter. When you have friends in the White House and Pentagon, you are golden.
