Dick Cheney's Old Company, Halliburton Moving It's Corporate Head Office To Dubai, UAE

Halliburton, the company that profited from the no-bid reconstruction projects after the 2003 Iraq War, that once had Dick Cheney as CEO, is moving it's coporate head offices from Houston to Dubai, UAE. All main functions of this company will now center from the UAE, although a U.S. branch office in Houston will remain open.

Oil exploration support services are a main business line for Halliburton. It was thought that a war in Iraq in 2003 would allow exploration for the 229 billion barrels of undiscovered oil in Iraq and Halliburton would handsomely profit from support services. Halliburton also handsomely profited from the use of $1 million dollar cruise missiles that damaged buildings in Iraq with no real military significance that Halliburton was given no-bid contacts by the military to rebuild.

The Bush Administration is comprised of 43 oil industry associated persons, 33 defense contractor associated persons, and heads of all three military branches, the Army, Navy and Air Force Secretary Offices were all replaced with executives associated with military contractors. The recent Walter Reed scandal has developed in the face of both cuts to veteran's service by the Bush Administration, as well cuts to Walter Reed administrators from 200 to 60, as well as eventiual plans to close this flagship veteran's hospital.

When you have a government dominated by oil and defense contractor interests, a war for oil exploration is about what you can expect to get.
