How does everyone feel about Halliburton now moving to Dubai in order to profit more off of Iraq's oil supply?

Halliburton has been doing more than rebuilding Iraq for the past few years.


Now, their corportate offices and CEO's going to the Middle East proves they are disgraceful.How does everyone feel about Halliburton now moving to Dubai in order to profit more off of Iraq's oil supply?
Good show for corporate America.How does everyone feel about Halliburton now moving to Dubai in order to profit more off of Iraq's oil supply?
And now, a little cheese to go with your whine.
Good Riddance.
Corporations are not required to be patriotic, but yet we give corporations all the rights of citizenship. It won't surprise me none if one day Haliburton is on the other side during a escalating conflict. Abraham Lincoln saw the rise of corporations and he said it was going to be bad for the country.
Halliburton is another example of corporate greed. They should be held responsible for the overcharging and downright theft that they have commited in Iraq. It is obvious that Cheney still has connections to his past company. As to their move to Dubai, I believe that the move was made for a couple reasons, taxes was one, protection against lawsuit by the US is another. It still peeves me that Halliburton was given no-bid contracts and robbed us blind!!!
I can't really do much about it but it is pretty sickening to anyone who has any decency, to see something like this. Though it was to be expected, there are many reasons why the war in Iraq was started, none that include ';Bringing Iraq Democracy';.
why do you think Halliburton/Cheney pushed so hard for the war?
I don't think the move to the Mideast is disgraceful...profiteering on the suffering others as Haliburton has done for decades, now that's disgraceful, but just moving one's offices to the richest playground in the world that just happens to be located near more than 2/3 of your major resource makes logical business sense.
If I was a company I would move too with the liberals threatening to take away my profits.
You sure hit that nail on the head! I think it's absolutely disgraceful and a downright slap in our face, but I'm not surprised. Haliburton has reaped huge profits from the Iraq war and now wants to rape the US, too by skirting the tax liabilities. It infuriates me to no end.
Sure wish I had a load of their stock.
Probably a good business move. They are in business to make a profit. They are the only company that does alot of the stuff that they do. Don't like it? Start your own company.
I'm wondering why the climate for businesses is so bad here in the US. Don't look for the Democrats to help save jobs.
I disagree. I can hardly wait until they are no longer an American company. At which point I think they should stop getting US government contracts.
and just where do you think Bush and Cheney will take their family's after the end of their term?


The only place that they will be safe from prosecution and extradition (though, not extreme rendition), will be Dubai, the UAE.
Well if it was easier to drill for oil in the US then they might have stayed. However, with all the beauracratic b.s. they have to put up with to even drill off the coast of FL, its a ';no-brainer';.
Let them go. But since they will no longer be a US-based company, ban them from any contracts in Iraq! :)
1) they are not in the Oil business, they supply parts to the oil businesses.





2) the are still an American company and will pay taxes to the US.
that if anything is an expected move
Great move. I hope they incorporate there.





How long can any corporation be a whipping boy for the politically repressive? How long should anyone take the abuse and hate like this one company gets from our countries national socialist?





This move is right out of Ayn Rand's book Atlas Shrugged.





I hope more corporations follow them. Remember, our national socialist need corporations like Halliburton more then Halliburton needs them.
Profit is good
