It's a matter of trust
Halliburton of Dubai.
The satellite at the top of the building, with no doubt, helipad or not, shares a direct satellite link with Cheney's Map Room. As a matter of fact the entire building is probably a satellite link. Like that better?
Dubai has some of the nastiest supporters of terrorists in the world and we, as Americans, have to put up with this?
News reports indicate that the UAE has been a key transfer point for illegal shipments of nuclear components to Iran, North Korea and Libya, yet the House and Senate have failed to publicly question Bush officials regarding their rationale for permitting foreign governments with terrorist links to operate major U.S. ports and buildings.
So serious is the oil-rich Arab emirate’s questionable past, that a February 10, 1999 National Security Council (NSC) email written by former U.S. counter terrorism chief Richard A. Clarke indicated that the NSC was investigating whether high-level UAE officials were in Afghanistan before September 11.
A CIA memo, “Recent High Level UAE Visits to Afghanistan,” confirmed that UAE officials were indeed in Afghanistan at a desert camp; moreover, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs-of-Staff General Hugh Shelton said in a February 5, 2004 interview that his UAE counterpart told him that he had been “hunting at a desert camp in Afghanistan.”
I don't think so !
Halliburton is running from American justice but they can't run away from 'the truth.' Cut the link of exploitive industry from the American treasury. Contracts go to burgeoning American industry that believe in American labor without discrimination of unions. No more no bid contracts and no more companies with one foot in international turmoil and one foot in the USA winning DID contracts.
We want a new and honest America and not more of the same corruption. The Democrats and their candidates need to get busy !
