100 million dollars. Don't you think just half of that money could
have been used to buy our soldiers better equipment?

... see this is the difference between Republicans and Democrats... right here...
Republicans think that some people are 2,000 times better than other people and they deserve to be paid 2,000 times as much...
Democrats think that everyone has their own special abilities and no one is 2,000 times better than anyone else, so why should anyone be paid 2,000 times more... even if you have special abilites, which some clearly do... maybe you should only get 200 times more, not 2,000 times more... even at 200 times more you're still making more than 95 percent of America...
it's a clear flaw in the capitolistic system... you have people that are clearly being overpaid at the top levels, while people at the lowest levels make at or near minmum wage... the pay is clearly not geared toward abilty, he's not doing the work of 2,000 people...

I guess the phrase "war is hell" should be "war is Haliburton".
That is outrageous, that any one individual could profit so much from war. Remember during WW II people were scrapping metal to come up with to buy our boys things.
Man, I also heard there had been some fraud in their dealings in Kuwait. Overcharging fuel prices--go figure.
I think there should be tribunal of our own when the war is over.

Halliburton is a huge international conglomerate, the profits made in government contracts are miniscule compared to their other divisions. But how does the compensation for the head of a corporation have anything to do with buying equipment for soldiers?

Judging by the job Halliburton is doing worldwide, it sounds like he earned every bit of it.
He's not responsible for arming our soldiers. Congress is.

War Business is for Halliburton, not for their pawns.

Don't tell us that ... tell the shareholders of Haliburton who agreed to pay him that much.
