Kendall,

    I call it as Isee it. Ken may be right about Haliburton's special
services, but I think Schlumberger is a Texas corp. also. And there is Brown and Root
is a subsidiary of Haliburton, and they have road and infrastructure
contracts in Iraq.

Bobby
I'm somewhat surprised to see you so clearly stating the true reason for
our presence in Iraq, since Bush and Cheney are both from Texas. ;-{)}
