Look, did you ever think that Haliburton got the contract because they are GOOD at this sort of thing

They are good at this sort of thing, but they do have alot of competition in the world. I'm sure there were a hundred companies who could have handled the contract just as well.
When awarding government contracts there are measures in place to ensure that there is no insider edge to any companies. Not only were safeguards like this used, they were blatently ignored by the current US administration: Going so far as to limit company's bids for other contracts based on a "did you say yay! to us when we wanted to go to war?" list
