Halliburton moving its HQ to Dubai!

Halliburton the energy service company that was led by US VP Dick Cheney from 1995 to 2000 is planning to move its Headquarters and its CEO to Dubai. I want to remind you that KBR, a Halliburton subsidiary is one of the main contractors of the US Army in Iraq and was handed billon dollars contracts directly without a bid process!!

Halliburton is shifting its business towards the Middle East, West Africa and Libya. It is even planning to list its stock on the ME stock exchange. Last year's net profit for this company was $2,300,000,000!!!

At least we know that the war on "Terrorism" is profiting to some US companies, unfortunately they're trying to avoid paying tax to the same government who put them in this position by creating an unjustified war. Ironic, isn't it? Or perhaps they are anticipating some scrutiny from the Democrat led congress!
