smellyfoot™ in a way they are... remember Vice-President Dick Cheney before becoming the VP was the chief executive of Halliburton!
What? you didn’t think they got the contract on merit alone did you?

Showtunes: Halliburton set up KBR to be the prime contractor but they couldnt hope to do the job themselves so almost everything wet to sub-contractors Low bid win... anyone could have been given the prime then post for subs...

Showtunes: but there were hundreds of compines vieing for the contract but were not allowed to bid.... they even demanded and with proof got the FBI to open an investigation. when they asked the Army Corps of Engineers' chief contracting officer who awarded the contract for a statement she said she would talk but she wants whistle-blower protection from Pentagon retaliation first!
lets not talk in circles Showtunes...

Absolutely.
It is ludicrous for billions of taxpayer's dollars to be given to a company that is not BASED IN AMERICA.
We want a full refund.

Halliburton goes where the oil is that is not in US territories. Millions have funneled into this Texas and now Dubai based Corp. Why would they have to repay the money payed them? They got the contract they did the work, irregardless of the slave waged India workers they hired and use much as the Saudi's do the Suddanese. The money--follow the money the players involved all have dirty hands. Hello to Cheney, umm Bush family too.

Who would you give the contracts to? Haliburton has no competitors, that is why they were no bid contracts supposedly.
They need to work a requirement for staying local in the contracts, its highly unlikely there is any clause that will allow it.

Like who? Clinton awarded them no bid contracts for the same reason. Saying that anyone could have done it does not suddenly spawn thousands of companies trying to do it.

Should. But I'm not holding my breath. I bet they start selling supplies/ammunition to any Saudi with a fat bank account, irregardless of terrorist cell affiliation.

No. That's irrational thinking on your part.
