...The Clinton administration made the same
calculation in its own dealings with Halliburton. The
company had won the LOGCAP in 1992, then lost it in
1997. The Clinton administration nonetheless awarded a
no-bid
contract to Halliburton to continue its work in the
Balkans supporting the U.S. peacekeeping mission there
because it made little sense to change midstream.
According to Byron York, Al Gore's
reinventing-government panel even singled out
Halliburton for praise for its military logistics
work.
So, did Clinton and Gore involve the United States in
the Balkans to benefit Halliburton? That charge makes
as much sense as the one that Democrats are hurling at
Bush now. Would that they directed more of their
outrage at the people in Iraq who want to sabotage the
country's oil infrastructure, rather than at the U.S.
corporation charged with helping repair it.
