US Owes $208 Million to Iraq
Letter to The Washington Post
Dear Editor:
Re: Column by Colum Lynch, US Owes $208 Million to Iraq (Nov. 5, 2005) stated “A U.N.-established international auditing board called on the United States to repay Iraq $208 million in disputed fees for Kellogg, Brown & Root, a Halliburton subsidiary that received nearly $1.4 billion in contracts without having to compete for the delivery of fuel and the repair of Iraq's oil infrastructure.”
Let me see if I understand this. We are spending a billion dollars a week in Iraq (plus whatever the Bush administration is hiding), and the UN wants the United States to cover Halliburton’s rear end and pay for their overcharges? How ridiculous are things getting? Why doesn’t VP Cheney (the torture king) take it out of his pocket for his old friends at Halliburton?
