Tim’s take

For him Halliburton is shorthand for the war economy that never actually loses, the thing that profits no matter who's in charge or what the stated reason for a conflict is 45:45 25:24. He names it in the same breath as Cheney, Raytheon and Blackwater as proof that wars are fought for defense contractors rather than principle, and that chaos itself is something a company like this is built to exploit 1:26:10 22:36 21:08. The Bosnia and Saudi stories extend this into a picture of the same contractors turning up wherever there's an oil pipeline or a defense budget to skim 52:18 10:00.

He also uses it as a punchline for generic corporate power — a rich kid's dad "works for Halliburton," a leftist's diversity statement reads the same as Halliburton's 10:00 57:59. And he holds it up as an example of a subject nobody wants covered, crediting Janine Garofalo for talking about Halliburton and Cheney when it wasn't fashionable 1:13:39.
