why non-americans care which american companies american taxpayers pay to rebuild iraq is beyond me anyway.
we're rebuilding their infrastructure (you can be sure it'll be better than it was before the war), and footing the bill for it, and people are raising hell on the grounds of which company gets the contract to do it.
amazing.

Becuase obviously the majority of Americans don't realize what is happening in their own country...

well i'm glad you're concerned. i am too. i really don't care which company gets the contract for it though. what bothers me is that american taxpayers are going to have to foot the bill for this military adventure and its aftermath.

Are we all just ignoring the fact that Kofi Annan SUPPORTS the UN's role in rebuilding? He doesn't seem upset that we went in tehre without "permission", at least not so much that hes going to fuck the Iraqi people over to prove some imaginary point

Ha. That is a good one. If they don't help out we will pay for it as usual.

you aren't in the least bit concerned that multimillion dollar contracts are going, without public bid, to companies that used to employ our pres and vice pres?

How about the fact that Haliburton has had the same kind of contract with the government since before Bush was elected?

What is your point Rono? Cheney was not part of the government then at all.

No conflict of interest here afoaf. Move along, nothing to see.
-------------------- The above is an extract from my fictional novel, "The random postings of Edame". In the beginning was the word. And man could not handle the word, and the hearing of the word, and he asked God to take away his ears so that he might live in peace without having to hear words which might upset his equinamity or corrupt the unblemished purity of his conscience. And God, hearing this desperate plea from His creation, wrinkled His mighty brow for a moment and then leaned down toward man, beckoning that he should come close so as to hear all that was about to be revealed to him. "Fuck you," He whispered, and frowned upon the pathetic supplicant before retreating to His heavens.

No, you do have to explain it to me. Haliburton has had these support contracts with the government since before Bush and CHENEY were ever elected. They have the experience from the first war as well. What is your point exactly?

FYI, Cheney was part of the Bush, Sr. administration as well.
