Halliburton is a corporation.  It deals mainly in the Oil Business, however large reconstruction contract were awarded to Halliburton to help in rebuilding Iraq.  There have long been questions as to the legality of the way these contracts were handled as Vice President Dick Cheney was CEO of Haliburton prior to his coming to public office with President Bush in 2001.  He is still receiving his severance, buy out, pension from them which has raised eyebrows as to the legality of these contracts, with the feeling that there may be a conflict of interest between the Executive Branch and Halliburton.  This has not been proven, however it does linger over he heads of the Administration.

These days it is called a Private Military Contractor, and increasingly these private companies are being called on the perform duties which used to be carried out by national armies.\n\nThere are two ways. If you have military experience you will know already who to speak to as the companies are well known and have recruiters in the military circuit. They are well equipped, very well paid, and tend to have the best of the U.S and British ex special forces running them. Many of the people leaving the army after Iraq are not actually becoming civilians but are going back as PMC's with better rules of engagement, better equipment, and a lot more money.\n\nThe second way is if you do not have military experience, the reputable firms will not touch you, so you will end up with the ex night club bouncers and Bruce Willis wannabees who are out there acting like John Wayne. There is a very good chance you will end up dead in that scenario.

You forgot about Halliburton and their numerous subsidiaries,that got no bid time everlasting government contracts all over the Middle East.They along with the ones you have mentioned are bleeding America dry.Some may think they have been accountable.But the people who keep track of these things say there is over 30 billion dollars unaccounted for.That was at end of 2005.Wonder what it is now.

Purely speculation, but I would assume as long as the Gulf War continues, & some years after, yes. Haliburton has numerous overseas contracts to rebuild the middle east, & growing.

most of the driving is done by locals in "jingle trucks" the rest the military covers. So either join the service or talk to the Kuwaitis people. There is also a company that does like everything maybe ask them there called KBR. I am not really sure about that whole civilian driving off base in a combat zone type thing. Most supplies come on planes or choppers anyhow.

Wars and feuds have been going on in the middle east since BC. Taking bets chaos will ensue within one month of pullout.  \n I hear that some of Cheny's friends are building bases in Iraq as a deterrent...who is going to pay the tab to have the infrastructure building Corporations like Halliburton and it hundreds of subsidiaries. I agree with you on regaining the confidence of the American People.

Cheney, who served as CEO from 1995 to 2000, continues to receive as much as $1 million a year in deferred compensation as Halliburton executives enjoy a seat at the table during Administration discussions over how to handle post-war oil production in Iraq.But the Halliburton story is more than just a simple revolving door tale. Even without the Cheney conflicts of interest, serious doubts remain about whether a company with a record like Halliburton's should even be eligible to receive government contracts in the first place. This, after all, is a company that has been accused of cost overruns, tax avoidance, and cooking the books and has a history of doing business in countries like Iraq, Iran and Libya.If Cheney did any soul-searching after dealing with authoritarian dictators and avoiding taxes, it certainly didn't affect his social circle. He continued his quest for power by helping to form the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) in 1997 along with a bunch of archconservative hawks such as Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, and Jeb Bush (the President's brother and governor of Florida). This organization's purpose is to ensure America's global dominance through strategic use of its military.
