Hi Keith - Sounds like the initial rebuilding of Iraq may be done by U.S. construction firms. The effort in Afghanistan has gotten bogged down by going the UN-coordinated multilateral route. <As part of that first phase, engineering and construction project specialists such as Aliso Viejo-based Fluor Corp. could be in the running for contracts to repair and upgrade Iraqi oil facilities. Fluor spokesman Jerry Holloway declined to discuss the company's possible involvement in any postwar oil and gas projects. But he confirmed that Fluor submitted a bid, at the U.S. government's request, for possible work through the U.S. Agency for International Development — work that is said to focus on humanitarian projects such as repairing roads, sanitation systems and hospitals.> sunspot.net - ej
