The Navy has hired Houston-based Halliburton Co. to restore electric power, repair roofs and remove debris at three naval facilities in Mississippi damaged by Hurricane Katrina.
Halliburton subsidiary KBR will also perform damage assessments at other naval installations in New Orleans as soon as it is safe to do so.
KBR was assigned the work under a "construction capabilities" contract awarded in 2004 after a competitive bidding process. The company is not involved in the Army Corps of Engineers' effort to repair New Orleans' levees.
ahh yes the Dummies, showing us daily about how stupid they REALLY are.
Should have hired Joe's Door and Screen instead.
Now, they don't have the experience, capability, or the staff, but then it wouldn't "look political".
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!!!!!!
I understand your thinking, but I refuse to allow these nay-sayers, and those who try to leverage political advantage from disaster, and those who see a Bush conspiracy behind everything to prevent me from doing what is right and good.
These doom-and-gloomers were around during the American Revolution, during WW2, Korea and Vietnam. They would have us all believe it is useless to try to help. They would have us believe that anyone who IS helping is out for their own enrichment. Shrug them off and go do what is right.
If you do what is right they will criticise you. If you fail to do what is right they will criticize you. And in that case you will criticize yourself.
Remember the Gulf War? The dems told us we'd rue the day we sent troops there, that we would be bringing our boys home in body-bags by the tens of thousands, and that we would run home with our tails between our legs. Our boys were soft. They were clueless about desert warfare. Our cityfied machines would fail when they met the first sandstorm. And our enemy was war-hardened and tough.
Then the Iraqi soldiers began surrendering faster than we could process them. We were told, "Sure, but wait till they encounter the invincible Republican Guard!". We met them and they crumbled or disappeared. Finally, the dems told us that it wasn't FAIR for the US to use such overwhelming force, that the Iraqis didn't stand a chance against such awesome firepower and technology.
You will get slammed no matter what you do.
Screw em.
We need a parody pro like DFU to come up with some new words for that ol' Handel melody ... call it "The Hailliburton Chorus"

Shhhhhhh. If they told you, they'd have to kill you.......Assets of that nature would be a) easy to spot and b) easy to note the operation of*, IF 1) you know what to look for and 2) aren't prone to believing in fairy tales, myths, urban legends or media hype; they wouldn't need to tell me ...
