That I think would be a good idea
At what point do we say - ok let us make a few dollars off this scam.
After all - you say it is a war for us - well!

Well since Halliburton hasn't made billion's in profit off the war, it would be very hard to tax those billion.
Halliburton received contracts worth billions, but thats not profit.
KBR actually has lost money operating in Iraq.
So go learn what profit is, then come back and ask another question.

Since Halliburton is not an American company but rather is based in Dubai (for tax reasons of course) probably not.

Wow. You actually think that the US government doesn't tax Haliburton. I can retire now.

No, because they'll just stamp "Proprietary Information", so no one can look at their income.
