Brown and Root, a big construction contract to build the Cam Ranh Bay =
Navy facility (a billion dollar project). At that time B&R had built =
numerous US military facilities in the Far East and had lots of =
equipment over there gathering dust.
Brown and Root is now a part of Haliburton. They haven't had any billion =
dollar defense department construction contracts for some time. They do =
have a fat contract with the army to take care of American troops =
overseas (currently in 103 countries globally). They install concessions =
like Kentucky Fried Chicken on US bases to help boost the morale of the =
troops.
The Pax Americana scenario scripted by Dick Cheney, former President of =

Yes, and Red Adair and the boys will get some fat contracts to put out =
the oil field fires which Sadam will most certainly set off, and the =

this done. Never mind that Bush will probably not get reelected, the =
