LMAO. People making money off of something? Perish the thought. Someone has to rebuild Iraq, why shouldn't it be the companies that work and get taxed under the countries that helped to liberate Iraq? They are paying the taxes for the military forces over there.

France has done nothing positive and in my option should get no benefits. They have insulted several EU and future EU members in trying to claim their stake in world policy - and yet that haven't done anything but talk, insult, belittle and badger - exactly what their past shows they do and will continue to do. If they get shut out, that's fine by half of the world.

In the end it should probably go for the company with the best "bang for the buck" - but I wonder where the money will come from to rebuild Iraq and it's government? UN? US? Iraq? UK? France? Russia?
