Halliburton Finally Responds
'It's tragic that apparently Halliburton's efforts on the warfront are so poorly understood by Senator Kerry on the home front,' Halliburton said in a statement.
'Senator Kerry quotes from a reality television show, but Halliburton's reality in Iraq is real,' the firm's spokesman said. 'We question how the Kerry campaign can talk about creating jobs at the same time it talks about eliminating thousands of jobs for Americans," Halliburton said, noting that it currently has 30,000 workers in Iraq combat zones, including over 15,000 Americans.'
Let's see, now...Halliburton is HOW big? And it is worth HOW much? And it has lost HOW many people in Iraq? And this is the best comeback they could throw at Kerry?
(Note to self: when I become the CEO of a multi-national, multi-billion dollar corporation, remember to start a fund, if legal, to be used to expose, defunct, examine, investigate, (and when necessary) undermine useful idiots who have deeply wormed their way into the political structure. If this is not legal, then create an untraceable offshore slush fund to take care of such matters).
Hasn't Halliburton been a little too restrained in its response to the partisan players who wish to perpetually portray Halliburtion (and any oil-related business) as egregious republican meanies whose only goal is to rob the working poor and pollute the ecosystem while enriching Bush and Cheney?
Time for Halliburton and Big Business (and small businsess for that matter) to start fighting back and let the people know just how the cow eats the cabbage. The commie pinko leftists have never liked business, so why should Kerry? (Not to change the subject dramatically, but Kerry's campaign has picked up some appropriate bedfellows).
Business needs to take an energetic stand against the relentless attacks from the left to counter the 'evil and corrupt' image that has been foisted on it by the media elites, academia and the Hollywood entertainment complex. It's a tall task! The enemies of business are formidable. But like the war against Islamofascism, business (free enterprise/capitalism) can't afford to lose the battle against the socialistic leftists who have taken over the democrat party.
