OK, all you Bush/Cheney/Haliburton bashers. Do a little research and see how many times Clinton called on Haliburton.
Maybe that will put some perspective in your Bush hating lives.

Why don't you do some more research and find out who gave more to charity. Bush or his last 2 opponents, John Kerry and ALGORE.
I'll save you the trouble, it was Bush in a landslide.

Halliburton, Bectel, etc are the only companies capable of conducting large scale construction/re-construction efforts on this magnatude in the short time frame needed.

It's so disturbing because otherwise intelligent folks can be completely subsumed, and transformed into what essentially amount to emotional automatons, identifying hollow concepts like unqualified 'values', with political celebrities, and coming to conclusions based off that set of masterfully delivered stimuli. This end-run around consciousness borders on the profane.
When I heard about the Halliburton deal, I was shocked. Then I asked myself - Why am I shocked? I have known the capabilities and intention of this administration for years now. What exactly is it that shocks me? And the answer is that the otheriwse intelligent (I think?) individuals of this country continue to defend and apologize for the blatant actions of this government.
The only way of preventing that shock every time I hear of the latest outrage is to give up hope of the people coming to their senses. And I don't want to give up that hope! I find it hurts to think of giving it up!

What's that syndrome hostages sometimes develop, where they start identifying with their captors? It could be a situation like that.
