1:48:00
I've been getting complaints from Iraqi firms
1:48:03
and from American firms,
1:48:05
that the lack of transparency, the corruption...
1:48:08
I think the profits that American companies
1:48:10
are making, the major, the main companies,
1:48:13
are so overwhelming.
1:48:15
I mean, like when you have a line item
for a million dollars
1:48:18
and you subcontract it out for fifty,
or sixty, or seventy thousand dollars,
1:48:21
that's a huge profit. And it's the American
taxpayer that's gonna pay for that.
1:48:26
And it's gonna get better.
1:48:27
Start building a relationship,
1:48:29
because it's gonna get much better
1:48:31
as the oil flows and the budget increase
1:48:33
and the good news is whatever it costs
the government will pay you.
1:48:37
War is always good for certain companies...
1:48:40
I mean that are in the war, the business of war.
1:48:43
We're very proud of the work we're doing.
Again it's supporting the US government and the US military
1:48:49
And the real heroes of the campaign, the real heroes of the
reconstruction are the men and women of the US armed forces.
1:48:54
And we're very proud to be any part of that
that we can, in supporting them.
1:48:58
Halliburton delivers hot meals,
supplies, clean clothing,
1:49:02
and communications to our soldiers
1:49:04
so they can be a little closer to home.
1:49:11
It's a girl!
1:49:12
Halliburton. Proud to serve our troops.
1:49:15
I just read in the paper Halliburton got another contract...
1:49:18
Halliburton got another contract...
1:49:21
it, which is not being... contested at all.
1:49:26
Because nobody knows.
1:49:28
Well, it's in the papers, so somebody knows.
1:49:31
But that's after it happens;
after the fact, it's too late.
1:49:36
The United States is now a major player
in the Iraqi oil business.
1:49:40
American troops guard the oil fields
as Texas oil workers
1:49:44
assess their potential.
1:49:47
It's a safe environment to work in.
Uh, we don't feel any risk,
1:49:49
we feel like we're being well protected here
or we wouldn't be here.
1:49:52
It's no secret, I mean,
I make anywhere's,
1:49:55
I don't know,
between two and three thousand a month.
1:49:59
A Halliburton employee out here drivin' a bus
can make all between eight and ten thousand a month.
