The only other construction firm big enough to handle Irag was Bechtel and they were too busy swiss-cheesing the Boston Big Dig.

Rent-A-Mob gone off the deep end?

Hmmmm, to the protesters:

Get a freakin' job, get a freakin' clue...or both!

[Dog Gone]

The horses performed as trained, by circling with their back feet, sometimes knocking protesters out of the way with their haunches.

I'd like to see video of that.

Nursing her foot with an ice pack, Cynthia Daly said a mounted officer outside the hotel ran over her foot with his horse.

How about that?:Horse steps on horse's a$$?

It's so easy for the simple minded left to pick what they think are easy targets. Everything American is bad. Big business is bad. Anything military is bad. They have the intellectual depth of an empty saucer.

They also apparently have nothing to do.

[Sax]

Yep, they realized that Halliburton spelled backwards is Satan's War Mongering Enterprises, Inc. Dumb a$$es.

"Halliburton supports the rights of protesters," Halliburton said in a news release. "Even if they don't have the facts right, they have a right to speak up."

What a polite way of saying: "It's ok; they're just dumb."

injuring a police horse

A judge could consider this a very serious crime. It might actually get some jail time.

Assaulting a police officer? Probation.

Damn! You stole my thunder!

Halliburton's doing A LOT more there than construction - including such mundane things as running cafeteria services.

And when it comes to construction, why isn't the Army Corp of Engineers doing that?

"The appearance of impropriety" is a concept that seems a bit too abstract for the diminished mental capacities of modern day America. Maybe we should all start wearing shirts that say "sucker" on the back.

I'm just wondering how Bill Clinton would have rationalized awarding the reconstruction to Tyson Foods.

"They ran over my foot. They did not need to do that," she said.

Tell them to visit me next time. I will run over their head !!

[PetroniDE]

I will do something that will REALLY piss off the liberals. Will send Halliburton my resume.

[PetroniDE]

Houston area ping lists.

Hehehehe

This deserves a Napolean Dynomite soundbite "IDIOT!"

HOT Dog, does your horse gang like stories like this?

[Guillermo]

The funny thing is, that the protestors who are not Trust Fund Kids would gladly take a well-paying job at Halliburton, if they would have them.

There's some decent video of the commies getting mugged and whining about it here.
