No stock options for the execs for a couple of years. That should cover the 7+ billion they need......they have no problem not giving

us a raise when the need to cut costs. Why should they be any different?

A billion.here.A billion.there. It all adds up

And Halliburtons revenue is not what it use to be

There will be a day when stockholders ask Dave.

why did you go ahead with the baker deal when the industry is flat and will stay flat for 1 to 2 years.

Good luck servicing that debt

I think Dave has bit off more than Halliburton can chew.

Baker is toast.

Halliburton will be hurt.

Blah blah blah blah blah. Meah ...
