>>Look at the list of contracts awarded in Iraq<< Remember, that's contracts being awarded by our own federal government, not the government of Iraq. Federal procurement procedures favor companies which jump through certain hoops long in advance of any contract being offered, in essence prequalifying themselves. When the Iraqis finally set up their own government, they'll be awarding contracts very differently than our own federal procurement procedures.
