When we got stupid and said only our lackies could play?
The directive from U.S. Deputy Defence Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, dated Friday and posted Tuesday on a Pentagon web site, limits bidders to firms from the United States, Iraq, their coalition partners and other countries that have sent troops to Iraq. It says restricting contract bids “is necessary for the protection of the essential security interests of the United States.”
..."If these comments are accurate ... it would be difficult for us to give further money for the reconstruction of Iraq," Deputy Prime Minister John Manley said. "To exclude Canadians just because they are Canadians would be unacceptable if they accept funds from Canadian taxpayers for the reconstruction of Iraq." [Canada has contributed more than $190-million to the rebuilding effort.] article
I guess we won't be needing their money, either.
Oh, don't worry - they'll give, and be happy to grovel at our imperial feet. Just watch.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
