Also when Gore did a paper and presentation on the right way for the government to work with private industry, he used Haliburton as the case study. Al Gore showed how Haliburton was able to get jobs done at lower cost and much more quickly than the government could do it itself.
In fact Presidents have been giving awards and props Haluburton since 1963 because when you need 700 oil well fires extinguished NOW or you need a prison built in a few weeks nobody else can do it like they can. I've watched them work so I se what Gore was taking about.
Contrary to popular belief among the lefties, other companies DID bid on the Iraq contingency contracts. Those other companies needed several months and billions of dollars to hire people and aquire large equipment. Haliburton was ready to go because that's what they do. They handle big projects right and they are always ready to go. Need a refinery? Haliburton can build you one quicker than any government agency can approve the paint color.
