How does everyone feel about Halliburton now moving to Dubai in order to profit more off of Iraq's oil supply?

Question

Halliburton has been doing more than rebuilding Iraq for the past few years.
Now, their corportate offices and CEO's going to the Middle East proves they are disgraceful.

Answer 1

Good show for corporate America.

Answer 2

Halliburton is another example of corporate greed. They should be held responsible for the overcharging and downright theft that they have commited in Iraq. It is obvious that Cheney still has connections to his past company. As to their move to Dubai, I believe that the move was made for a couple reasons, taxes was one, protection against lawsuit by the US is another. It still peeves me that Halliburton was given no-bid contracts and robbed us blind!!!

Answer 3

I don't think the move to the Mideast is disgraceful...profiteering on the suffering others as Haliburton has done for decades, now that's disgraceful, but just moving one's offices to the richest playground in the world that just happens to be located near more than 2/3 of your major resource makes logical business sense.

Answer 4

Great move. I hope they incorporate there.

How long can any corporation be a whipping boy for the politically repressive? How long should anyone take the abuse and hate like this one company gets from our countries national socialist?

This move is right out of Ayn Rand's book Atlas Shrugged.

I hope more corporations follow them. Remember, our national socialist need corporations like Halliburton more then Halliburton needs them.

Answer 5

properly first we heard approximately this off shore "camp" and then they advised us those pictures of a Cpl degrading human beings grew to become into an exception to the guideline a loner who have been given away with all of it -- and her commanders in no way knew approximately it Then unfastened speech zones --- now a number of them are cages -- yet that grew to become into just to incorporate the wacko's and violent protesters back from coast to coast place of beginning secure practices which grew to become into created out of 9/11 has set up examine factors in some States cord tapping is now no longer a legal difficulty because of the fact the administration circumvented a choose thoroughly while spying regionally or the international over extra terrible pictures floor approximately human beings being tortured interior the off shore camps -- people who weren't in any respect charged with an offense quite some the time -- overwhelmed water boarded and utilized in psych-ops Now a private mercenary service has been accused of what sounds like conflict crimes and extra --- purely what share bodies are they burning in line with day with this open burn pit ? i do no longer understand approximately you yet I see a development

Answer 6

Corporations are not required to be patriotic, but yet we give corporations all the rights of citizenship. It won't surprise me none if one day Haliburton is on the other side during a escalating conflict. Abraham Lincoln saw the rise of corporations and he said it was going to be bad for the country.

Answer 7

You sure hit that nail on the head! I think it's absolutely disgraceful and a downright slap in our face, but I'm not surprised. Haliburton has reaped huge profits from the Iraq war and now wants to rape the US, too by skirting the tax liabilities. It infuriates me to no end.

Answer 8

Probably a good business move. They are in business to make a profit. They are the only company that does alot of the stuff that they do. Don't like it? Start your own company.

Answer 9

Let them go. But since they will no longer be a US-based company, ban them from any contracts in Iraq! :)

Answer 10

I can't really do much about it but it is pretty sickening to anyone who has any decency, to see something like this. Though it was to be expected, there are many reasons why the war in Iraq was started, none that include "Bringing Iraq Democracy".
