Halliburton Subsidiary Wins U.K. Contract
Associated Press

LONDON - Britain's government on Tuesday awarded a Halliburton Co. subsidiary a contract for running the supply chain for shipping military equipment to British troops, a day after the company agreed to pay $11.4 million in potential overcharges to the U.S. Pentagon.

The $22 million contract was given to the construction and engineering group Kellogg Brown & Root.

The Ministry of Defense stressed the deal would be "the best way forward" for logistic support for the British forces, saying the company would deal with all their equipment supply needs.

Kellogg Brown & Root, the Halliburton subsidiary, was chosen for the contract based on "performance, responsiveness and overall value for money," a ministry spokeswoman said.

Dear Brits,


We'll give the orders *and* bill you for shipping gear to your lads.

You come up with the supine leadership and the canon fodder. Everyone's a winner!


Your friends in global war,

The US of A
