"Iraq was better than expected. Overall, there is nothing really to question or be skeptical about. I think the results are very good."
Good for Halliburton that is, according to Jeff Tillery, analyst with Pickering Energy Partners Inc., and I'm sure he is right. True, Iraq is rapidly falling into civil war, and the "reconstruction" that Halliburton is supposedly doing in Iraq is a catastrophic failure, but "Halliburton's Iraq-related work contributed nearly $1.2 billion in revenue in the third quarter of 2006." What's good for Halliburton is good for America, right? Or at least for Dick Cheney, who thinks things are going "remarkably well" in Iraq.
