Is this about tax breaks? Getting beyond the reach of congressional subpoenas? And what about all that sensitive information that Halliburton has had access to? At a minimum, reincorporating in Dubai would mean that Halliburton will be paying less taxes to the U.S. Treasury, even as it collects billions from government contracts.
Check this out:
Dubai has long positioned itself as a regional business hub, with a laisser faire attitude to business regulations. The government has launched several free zones allowing foreign firms to circumvent laws barring foreigners owning businesses.
Perhaps Halli knows something WE don’t know!
( WARNING! Here comes a conspiracy theory!)
Like maybe “somebushy” is planning another 9-11!
So Prez Cheney and puppet stooge Junior can continue to play Iraqi Roulette with our troops indefinitely!

BTW,
“HOUSTON – Former President George H.W. Bush was treated at a California hospital for dehydration and released Monday”

Forgot to include Dick Cheney’s not too suttle threat in post #1.
“Cheney warned that terrorists would continue to attack the United States and
friends if they saw them retreating in the face of continued deadly insurgent attacks.
The Associated Press.”

That’s “subtle” for those who never made a typo.

Kerry, does this blog posting machine have a spell checker?
I’m a proof reader, but fast typing on a blog leads to many errors. Thank goodness you’re lurking to correct us.
And yes Bart, Halliburton is fleeing to escape justice, and collection. A no brainer.
