Actually our gas prices were really high because of the labor problems and general strike in Venezuela...but that's a different topic for another time.
But I guess the billions that Halliburton is going to be making fighting the oil fires etc. (a contract awarded to them without there being a competition for the lowest bid....something VERY illegal) should be lucrative for Cheney and his oil pals.
Hey Apu, do you know how many companies in the world have the ability to fight these type of oil fires?
There are obviously many of them because the EU is bringing charges against the US in the World Trade Organization proclaiming that Halliburton getting the contracts without competition is illegal. Also, there is a Congressional investigation into Halliburton and the war contracts.
If I understand the job right there are 3. The EU is bring the suit of a French company that was left out in the cold.
