Is Halliburton's move out of the USA to Dubai an insult to U.S. soldiers and taxpayers?

Question

Do you know that the USA has no extradition treaty with the United Arab Emirates, of which Dubai is a part? Aside from tax advantages, is protection from extradition for various criminal acts by corporate executives a motivation for the move?

Answer 1

It is absolutely shameful, and the United States should terminate all non-vital contracts with Halliburton immediately, and transfer vital ones as quickly as possible. While it is fine to work with companies from other nations, the fact is that Halliburton is giving up roots in America, a nation which has bailed it out of near bankruptcy through massive contracs.

Dick Cheney should personally condemn Halliburton for this move, due to his deep personal ties with the nation. I believe that would be fully consistent with his political beliefs, if not his economic ties.

Answer 2

I hate to say it but even those countries without an extradition treaty with the US wont allow people that are wanted into their countries. Unless everyone that moves their is going to renounce their US citizenship and become citizens of UAE extradition isnt a main reason for the move. Tax advantages though is probably the main motive for the move. If you work for Halliburton overseas I would applaud this move stay out of the country for a while and just not pay taxes on what you earn sounds like a great plan to me.

Answer 3

Whats up with people and Halliburton?

What difference does it make where their headquarters building is at ?

They are remaining a US Corporation, they will still pay US tax's.

Most of their Executives will still be based in Texas, their Board of Directors will still be based in Texas.

It's a big stink about nothing.

Or maybe you think George Soras made Halliburton move to Dubai after he just bought 62 million in stock.

So exactly what is the insult to US tax payers or the US Military ?

That the CEO of Halliburton is moving into the area where Halliburtons customers are ????

Answer 4

Clearly Haliburton is no longer a US company and should be treated as such. It should no longer be considered for US contracts where the security of the US is of interest or required.

The move suggests that there is concern for illegal activities, as well as the escape from US jurisdiction, taxes and responsibilities.

When Haliburton was selected for Iraqi reconstruction, the selection was suspicious at best, illegal at worst. We watched and trusted those in charge. It seems like that trust is being violated more each day. I doubt if any US citizen watches this and thinks that Haliburton can possibly be representing ANY interest of the US. The whole group, including Cheney who represented them, should be ashamed and give up their US citizenship to work in this foreign interest. They want their riches, go...and good luck.

ANY US Representative who now allows ANY money to be paid to Haliburton for their "services" should be voted out of office. Close out their existing contracts and be done with them. There are other companies who are now better qualified.

Answer 5

right this is a superb extra effectual fact approximately Halliburton: they are actually not an oil organisation! they do no longer purchase, transport, refine or sell one drop of oil!!! (**GASP!!!**). Halliburton organisation grants considered one of those centers and products to purchasers in the capability industry. the organisation operates under 2 divisions: the crowning glory and production section, and the Drilling and assessment section. It can provide extra than a number of centers and products to purchasers with the aid of its 2 employer segments for the exploration, progression, and production of oil and gasoline. Halliburton organisation serves national and autonomous oil and gasoline companies with the aid of the international. In July 2007, the organisation gained the full share capital of PSL capability centers constrained (PSLES), an jap hemisphere provider of technique, pipeline, and nicely intervention centers. PSLES has operational bases in the united kingdom, Norway, the midsection East, Azerbaijan, Algeria and Asia Pacific. In January 2007, Halliburton organisation gained all psychological supplies, modern supplies and modern employer linked with Calgary-based Ultraline centers business enterprise (Ultraline), a branch of Savanna capability centers Corp.

Answer 6

talk about robbing the people blind. I can't believe people still support GW and Cheney after this one.

there is an old song that go's..."go on take the money and run"

that's what they did, us dumb americans fell for it hook line and sinker.

ok so run down is Cheney starts a war, get his company a NO BID contract for over 25 billion. and then his company moves to the middle east, WHERE the supposed Muslim enemies do business?

and somehow at of all that bush supporters still think democrats and anyone else against the war is unpatriotic?

the real traitors are bush and his business buddies in the middle east.

Good luck and God bless you and your family

Answer 7

Maybe a constant anti Haliburton drum beating by dems and other US leftests gave them the impression they weren't wanted here and didn't need to be head quartered here and didn't need to pay taxes here. Maybe.

What do you think.

Answer 8

Yes it is! And it is a slick move, too. They can avoid the subpeonas and charges that will be charged against them for stealing billions of U.S. dollars, war profiteering and other charges that will be coming.

Another Bush/Cheney opportunity to screw over the American soldiers and citizens.

Answer 9

I don't think it is a slap to the soldiers per se, but to ALL taxpaying Americans.

Answer 10

Saves money on Airfare, Iraq will take years to rebuild
