Zilch.  Nothing.  None of those things that apparently make this country so great.  None of the capitalistic war machine that made WWII into a depression-killing capitalistic venture.  Nope, Haliburton can charge taxpayers whatever they choose and if you don't like it you just hate the troops and you want a bunch of brown people to waltz right over here and kill us all.

It is an amazingly flawed business model propped up by misinformation and smear tactics.  It's brilliant.

How many other companies are in that business?  Seems to me, if there are others who are not being allowed to bid, it wouldn't exactly be a secret.

Sounds like your biggest beef is not with the practice of destroying countries and then rebuilding them but with not letting other companies bid on the work.  Interesting.
