@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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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