Halliburton's lucrative logistics contract with the US Army is to come to an end, the military has said.


So they're now admitting to Halliburton was not doing it's job in Iraq. Interesting.

That's not what it looks like I prefer getting my information, for one, from a more fair and balanced news source. All it looks like is that they're opening it up more. There is zero indication that they weren't doing their job.

You can forget my fair and balanced statement now. It was a Reuters article, and they're not very balanced Though this article does seem to be pretty fair.

Lol! Gotcha'

I never really understood how they just poured money into a single company to do all of the rebuilding - this three/four company net is a much more sane approach to rebuilding. It keeps the competition alive for lower costs and faster production.

Or at least that's how I see it...
