The 25 Most Vicious Iraq War Profiteers 2008

#1 Halliburton’s KBR, Inc.

The first name that comes to everyone’s mind here is Halliburton. According to MSN Money, Halliburton’s KBR, Inc. division bilked government agencies to the tune of $17.2 billion in Iraq war-related revenue from 2003-2006 alone. This is estimated to comprise a whopping one-fifth of KBR’s total revenue for the 2006 fiscal year. The massive payoff is said to have financed the construction and maintenance of military bases, oil field repairs, and various infrastructure rebuilding projects across the war-torn nation. This is just the latest in a long string of military/KBR wartime partnerships, thanks in no small part to Dick Cheney’s former role with the parent company.

The company and its employees have been concerned about the effects of the "fiscal cliff" and sequestration, the latter of which includes significant cuts to the U.S. Department of Defense. In the fall of 2012, the company planned on issuing layoff notices to all employees before backing down at the White House's request.

Death and Destruction equal profits, Buys Politicians and keeps the war machine oiled and greased. Cost to the peasants is only factored by how much they can make for the bottom line. Mans inhumanity to man, No ethics rather power and greed, what’s right or wrong is a after thought, the blame is the game is a skirmish, war is the cash cow!
