After using expensive weaponry to destroy Iraqi infrastructure and killing
thousands of human beings, The U.S. will rebuild Iraq using a restricted
bidding process made up of American contractors only.A subsidiary of
Halliburton, the firm formerly headed by the US vice-president, Dick
Cheney, is a member of one of four consortia whose bids were invited in a
secret process last month. Several of the firms are major Republican party
donors. Weapons manufacturers and Construction firms both win. Iraqi oil
will pay whatever their asking price is, to fuel our U.S. economic
upturn...US administration officials would act as "shadow ministers",
keeping a close eye on Iraq's new government.
