1:49:02
and communications to our soldiers
1:49:04
so they can be a little closer to home.
1:49:11
It's a girl!
1:49:12
Halliburton. Proud to serve our troops.
1:49:15
I just read in the paper Halliburton got another contract...
1:49:18
Halliburton got another contract...
1:49:21
it, which is not being... contested at all.
1:49:26
Because nobody knows.
1:49:28
Well, it's in the papers, so somebody knows.
1:49:31
But that's after it happens;
after the fact, it's too late.
1:49:36
The United States is now a major player
in the Iraqi oil business.
1:49:40
American troops guard the oil fields
as Texas oil workers
1:49:44
assess their potential.
1:49:47
It's a safe environment to work in.
Uh, we don't feel any risk,
1:49:49
we feel like we're being well protected here
or we wouldn't be here.
1:49:52
It's no secret, I mean,
I make anywhere's,
1:49:55
I don't know,
between two and three thousand a month.
1:49:59
A Halliburton employee out here drivin' a bus
can make all between eight and ten thousand a month.
1:50:03
Explain that one to me.
For forty hours a week...
1:50:06
driving the same two-and-a-half mile route.
1:50:09
Go figure. Where do you,
where's the justification in that?
1:50:12
There's no other single area of the world today
with the opportunity for business, new busness,
1:50:15
similar to the opportunity
that's available today in Iraq.
1:50:18
The United States is now a major player
in the Iraqi oil business.
1:50:20
American troops guard the oil fields as Texas oil
workers assess their potential.
1:50:22
The President went in and did what he did,
1:50:25
and we're all supporting him and our troops,
1:50:27
and we wanna make sure that, you know,
1:50:29
the efforts and the lost lives...
1:50:31
it wasn't for no reason.
1:50:34
If it wasn't for the oil nobody would be there.
1:50:36
Nobody would worry about it.
1:50:38
Unfortunately, at least for the near term we think
it's gonna be a good situation and, a dangerous situation.
1:50:45
Good for business, bad for the people.
1:50:48
Today on the news,
1:50:50
Rumsfeld was saying and, uh, wol--, wolf--,
Wolfowitz was saying,
1:50:54
"Oh, the Iraqi people are much much better off.
1:50:59
Isn't it better that we got rid of Saddam
