Halliburton is over there doing some of the jobs that no other company in the world can do; at least, they are doing jobs that no one else in the world placed bids to perform.

That isn't actually true. Bids from foreign countries outside of the coalition were automatically rejected. Bids from inside the coalition were given second running to US contractors (not a suprise though).

The manner in which Halliburton was awarded the contract is up for debate though. They were NOT the lowest bidder on several of the contracts they were awarded, and their ties with the US government make this decision dubious at best.
