Brown and Root or better known to many as "root and scoot" is a sorry outfit. After their incompetent building of the Bay City Power House nuke in Bay City, Tx, they were almost sued into oblivion. Halliburton purchase MW Kellogg and added the name to Brown and Root to kind of give root and scoot a little credibility. Well, guess what America, Root and Scoot is the darling of the conservanazi republikans. THIS is what you get for contracting them to do defense work. Root and Scoot is well known for lots of shenanigans. Hiring incompetent 'skilled' craft. Illegal aliens. Using shoddy material. Abusing their "cost plus" jobs. They are well known for bringing in more equipment and over-billing for it.

Ever wonder why they moved their headquarters to Dubai? Stops lawsuits that they knew were coming because of their "work" in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I knew this was coming but what really bothers me is that they bribe the conservanazis to give them more work and are probably still contracting for the US government doing the same things they've done before.
