They're just going home:
"MANAMA/HOUSTON - U.S. oil services firm Halliburton Co. is moving its headquarters and chief executive to Dubai in a move that immediately sparked criticism from some U.S. politicians."
Chop the US off of the first part of that story and you have what Halliburton is--an oil services firm, and their bottom line is MONEY. What? When GM, Ford, and about every other "US" company (see that as companies that hire Americans) left our shores was that a surprise? Guess what? That's how business is run--and considering how much business Halliburton does with the Middle East it makes more sense just to move there I suppose. But as far as allegiances go, Halliburton owes more to Dick Cheney than it does to America--even if it gets its tax breaks from US.
