U.S. oil services firm Halliburton Co. (HAL.N: Quote, Profile, Research) is moving its headquarters and chief executive to Dubai in a move that immediately sparked criticism from some U.S. politicians.Hey, if YOU had a chance to get out of your dollar positions, and into some safe transaction models, and that in a country where you would not have to worry about the Radical Christianists going Loopy....
Texas-based Halliburton, which was led by Vice President Dick Cheney from 1995-2000, did not specify what, if any, tax implications the move might entail. It plans to list on a Middle East bourse once it moves to Dubai -- a booming commercial center in the Gulf. The company said it was making the moves to position itself better to gain contracts in the oil-rich Middle East.
"This is an insult to the U.S. soldiers and taxpayers who paid the tab for their no-bid contracts and endured their overcharges for all these years," said judiciary committee chairman Sen. Patrick Leahy, a Vermont Democrat.
