Just heard that the Gov accounting office has said that the ONLY company able to do the contract that Edwards was referring to in the debate was Haliburton!

No one else was in a position to perform the contract in the time required.

Clinton used Halliburton with no bid contracts in Bosnia and Ksosvo. Surprised Cheney didn't stick that in Edwards ear but then again there wasn't any more room.

What does Halliburton charge for gas over there? $2.25? Sounds like a good deal to me considering its a war zone.

Brian Williams on MSNBC has been really good on getting the "real" facts out; I just heard him say that it wasn't a "no bid" -- it was a "nobody else can bid" because nobody else can do the job Halliburton does and that the job required.

Billy Boy Clinton gave Haliburton a no-bid contract after the Yugoslavia war/battle/thing.

The Dems don't mention that do they?
