Anybody up for this job?

Got this screenshot from an Inquirer.net page. I’m not sure how to make of it. Just look at the highlighted portion below.

Pinoy jobs in Iraq for $9,000 a month? Must be adventurous and willing to face danger? Right on!

    That’s probably for private military contractors like Halliburton. Check wikipedia or look for articles on that company… such a mess.

    I have a kababayan who once worked in Basrah, Iraq. She wrote an article about her life there. It was in my old site. Check it out:

    I think I’ll pass. $9000 isn’t worth risking your life for.

    Thanks but no thanks. A million wouldn’t be enough. I’d have to sacrifice my principles as to how wrong this war is in the first place.

    Kates,
    Actually, I am back in Israel!

    kidlat,
    I read the article. Yes, that KBR used to be connected with Halliburton. Both associated with American corruption. (yeah Pinoys don’t have a monopoly on kurakot!)

    Just found this: Halliburton Watch.

    Did you guys actually open the link? It’s a SPLOG network!

    Anyway in my personal opinion… I won’t mind dying there. What’s scary as hell is getting incapacitated in the war zone.

    If these private contractors in Iraq can throw fat salaries, it’s because a lot of filthy oily money is being made there. I read that a Halliburton truck driver makes between $8,000-10,000 a month.

    US soldiers in Iraq make between $2,000-3,000 a month not because their fighting for freedom but because the US needs to protect the oil business they took over. And these soldiers die by the hundreds every month.

    I hope no pinoy would participate in that kind of insanity, not even for $9,000.

    Figures. Filipino soldiers face low pay and corrupt bosses here; they may as well become Haliburton mercs.

    @Ria, yes. Dick’s, George Dubya’s, and other Texan oily boys. Hehe. They’re under the Carlyle Group where Saudis have a large stake.
