They just got a different tool to use than we do: They kill innocent lives to achieve objectives. That's what they do. And they're good. They get on the TV screens and they get people to ask questions about, well, you know, this, that or the other. I mean, they're able to kind of say to people: Don't come and bother us, because we will kill you. Bush - Joint News Conference with Blair - 28 July '06

U-S military and Halliburton 'not cooperating' with investigation

kltv.com: Kuwaiti lawmakers say the U-S military and Halliburton aren't cooperating with their investigation of alleged overcharging for fuel deliveries to Iraq. Parliamentarian Ali al-Rashed heads the five-ember investigative committee. He says the lack of cooperation from the U-S military and Houston-based Halliburton subsidiary K-B-R have harmed the investigation.

Legislators allege Kuwaiti oil supplier Altanmia Marketing Company made almost 760-thousand dollars in daily profits by providing K-B-R with 15-hundred tons of fuel a day. They say the state-owned Kuwait Petroleum Corporation, which sold the fuel, made just 387-thousand dollars a day from the contract. Link
