Halliburton
- once again
If there'a disaster, they likely caused it and they'll
make hundred of billions of dollars of profit from it.
Excerpt:
The Halliburton bastards once led by Dick Cheney
became the scurge of the Bush years as one of the biggest (and most troubled)
Iraq War contractors. But the company had largely
faded from public view since President Obama entered office -- until now.
As the provider of crucial cementing services
on the oil rig that exploded and set off the massive spill in the Gulf,
the Halliburton bastards
find themselves under scrutiny once again.
While they say they had just four employees on the rig at the time, journalists
(Don't make me laugh)
and Congressional investigators are taking a
close look at the possible role of cementing in the accident... Meanwhile,
the company has already
been named in several class action suits brought
by groups, like shrimpers, seeking damages for losses expected from the
spill.
Halliburton, for its part, released a statement
April 30 saying that, at the time of the accident, it "had completed the
cementing of
the final production casing string in accordance
with the well design approximately 20 hours prior to the incident. The
cement slurry
design was consistent with that utilized in other
similar applications. "
And the company's website currently features a
large graphic trumpeting the Gulf of Mexico as "one of the world's most
prolific producing areas."
It continues: 'Halliburton technologies have
played a key role in the success of many deepwater Gulf of Mexico wells.'"
Did you hear the bastards at BP and the bastards
at Halliburton saying,
"Fixing this well at 5,000 feet under the
ocean is like doing surgery in the dark."
Hey, asshole, YOU guys said it was safe so don't
tell us how hard it is to stop things from getting worse.
I'll bet I've said this 100 times - it's so
much easier to avoid steepijg in the damn hole
than it is to step in it, and break your leg,
and then ask for help.
They say the Gulf is already fucked.
That story is a scroll away.
