Iraq oil |
"The Halliburton subsidiaries [Dresser Rand] joined dozens
of American and foreign oil supply companies that helped Iraq
increase its crude exports from $4 billion in 1997 to nearly
$18 billion in 2000. Since the program began, Iraq has exported
oil worth more than $40 billion."^ |

Rebuilding Iraq |
"Using two subsidiaries, Dresser-Rand
and Ingersoll-Dresser, Halliburton
helped rebuild Saddam's war-damaged oil fields. The combined
value of these contracts for parts and equipment was greater
than that of any other American company doing business with
Iraq - companies including Schlumberger, Flowserve, Fisher-Rosemount
and General Electric. They acted through foreign subsidiaries
or associated companies in France, Belgium, Germany, India,
Switzerland, Bahrain, Egypt and the Netherlands. In several
cases, it is clear the European companies did no more than loan
their names to American firms for the purpose of dealing with
Hussein. Iraq then became America's second-largest Middle Eastern
oil supplier." Molly
