Invading, occupying and rebuilding Iraq will cost American taxpayers more than $100 billion. But for some lucky companies, Iraq is emerging as a profit center. The administration has begun farming out contracts, and politically connected firms like Halliburton are among the early winners. This looks like naked favoritism and undermines the Bush administration's portrayal of the war as a campaign for disarmament and democracy, not lucre.
....
Companies unfairly excluded from bidding for these contracts are justifiably upset, including those based in Britain, America's most important military ally in Iraq. Under World Trade Organization rules, procurement contracts are supposed to be open to all bidders, domestic and foreign.
Even if a legal basis can be found for these closed bidding arrangements, they are unacceptable. The Iraq war was fought in the name of high principles. Victory should not turn into an undeserved financial bonanza for companies that have cultivated close ties with the Bush administration.
When communists take over and true workers state is formed. That is when.
you're quite fond of old joe stalin, yes? get a grip, if that is the communism you're after, then you're closer than you think....

Even this afternoon Mr. Bush could not help reminding reporters that Iraq will not be rebuilt in a day.
"You know, it's amazing," he said. "The statue comes down on Wednesday and the headlines start to read, `Oh, there's disorder.' "
"Well, no kidding," he continued. "It is a situation that is chaotic because Saddam Hussein created the conditions for chaos. He created conditions of fear and hatred. And it's going to take a while to stabilize the country."
US rejects Iraq DU clean-up
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/2946715.stm
The US says it has no plans to remove the debris left over from depleted uranium (DU) weapons it is using in Iraq.
DU shells can go straight through the side of a tank It says no clean-up is needed, because research shows DU has no long-term effects.
I notice in today's paper that the "leader" of the Iraqi "exiles" in Ireland has "no immediate plans" to go home.
Just in case he reads this site, I'd like him to know that I don't want any Iraqis here, now that their homeland has been "liberated". I'd appreciate it if he started making his travel plans. I expect Baghdad Airport will be open to civilian traffic in a week or two. Then it should be a case of Adios, or however you say "Bye Bye" in Arabic !
There really is no justification now for any Iraqis to claim to be refugees here. Let's hope they can clear up their affairs in Ireland and speedily return to work on the new Iraq.
Iraqis are welcome here and always will be.
What kind of person would suggest that exaclty what Iraq needs now is for all Iraqi exile to return immediately?
There are enough difficulties in Iraq at the moment with a lack of basics such as clean water for the people there, without throwing thousands of exiled Iraqis back in.
So you show your true faces at last
I'm surprised Ray hasn't posted a note about everybody knowing where the NY Times website is on here? Consistency Ray ... in a world gone mad?
